Compare and contrast study of a woman's image from a geometric point of view in the mural painting of palaces and houses in Isfahan.

One of the most popular motifs in the mural paintings of palaces and houses, is women's motif. These designs are variously illustrated. Mural painting in Iran has a long history, the Safavid era, is the time of image development and transformation, in the context of the form and concepts used in it. Some Examples of it are the monuments in Isfahan in palaces, such as the Ali- Quipu and Chehel Sotun palace. There are mural paintings in the Armenian houses of Isfahan, in which many female motifs are seen. The purpose of this article is to recognize and accurately study the mural paintings of women's motifs in historic monuments. Other researchers in this field have addressed various aspects, including manufacturing technology, how these paintings are performed, and the conceptual study of women's motifs in the mural paintings, each of them has separately analyzed these cases. This article has analyzed the common and differential features of the mural paintings with a comparative procedure, and it has compared the painting of palaces with the houses, by a specific look to the geometrical features. By the survey’s done, it was revealed that women have filled(or-occupied) half of the mural paintings, and specific shapes such as squares and rectangles are the most used frames. These frames have been influenced by the architectural forms, and their arrangement in the houses is in the guest's view and in the courtyards is in all of the hollowed spaces. In This paper for the first time, the comparative structure of the woman's image from the geometric point of view and the similarities and differences of these designs in the palaces and houses of Isfahan is worked on. and seeks to do comparative analysis with document studies and field observations and with the help of graphical modeling
