The unveiling ceremony of the paintings 'Simorgh' and 'Environment' is scheduled to coincide with Handicrafts Week, IRNA reported.
The ceremony will be attended by senior Iranian officials, including the head of Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization Masoud Soltanifar.
Two other miniature paintings by the artist: 'Sham-e Ghariban' (The Night of the Oppressed) and 'The Fourth Heaven' were unveiled in Tehran last year.
Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Masoud Soltanifar attended the ceremony.
Farshchian is known as Iran's master of miniatures. His works have been displayed in galleries and museums around the world such as the British Library, Freer Gallery of Art, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Metropolitan Museum and Harvard University.
The artist was selected as an outstanding 21st century intellectual by Cambridge and has received an honorary doctorate in Iranian painting and Islamic arts from the High Council of Culture and Art.
He has also won numerous national and international awards, including the gold statuette of Italy's Vessillo Europa Delle Arte in 1984 and the gold medal of Belgium's 1958 International Art Festival.
Iran's Cultural Heritage Foundation established the Museum of Master Mahmoud Farshchian, devoted to the works of the veteran artist, at Tehran's Sa'dabad Cultural and Historical Complex in 2001.
