There are two types of Persian cat, Ultra or extreme meaning flat faced and Traditional Persian meaning Doll Face or a face of more normal appearance. This Bohemian Rex cat is a curly haired version of the traditional Persian. The Selkirk Rex cat has a body conformation like the Persian (see link above).
It is thought that this cat originates from the German Rex, which apparently was crossed with Persian cats (probably to enhance or alter the body conformation or increase hair length - my guesses) and the German Rex mutated gene was carried by Persian cats imported into the Czech Republic. See links to more fringe domestic cat breeds.
This is a Selkirk Rex a cat that is similar in body type to the Traditional Persian and with curly Rex hair so probably similar to the Bohemian Rex. I could not find a picture of the Bohemian Rex. The Selkirk Rex is a well-known cat breed which has recently been discussed more (2020) because of the distinctive coat.
