زن در هنرهاي تصويري دوره قاجار

Woman in Qajar?s visual arts

As a result of the presence of the western world during the reign of Qajar,the tendencies of the imperial court to experience the modern world and the enthusiasm of the west ,to know the eastern world, caused many traditional and modern dichotomies in areas such as social , cultural and artistic aspects of their lives, this situation not only effected the state of women in public but also their social activities. Images of women in Qajar pictorial arts- which due to its numerous images of women has granted it a feministic look- along with the artistic trends and social changes based on contemporary aesthetic standards could not help but be influenced by the western impact. As the art moved away from the courtʹs atmosphere and popular arts distributed images of women modified from ideal, fictional and limited to the courtʹs domain into original realistic and daily life bound ones.
