In the early Qajar period, many travelers provided unbelievable information about women. The beauty of Iranian women is one of the points that European tourists have come to appreciate. We can also see the reflection of this beauty in the paintings of this period. But the point that attracts attention is the remarkable difference between the women's survivors of the Qajar period with travel writings and paintings of this period. What has been studied in this research is to validate the accuracy of the Qajar women's background based on archaeological evidence. The collection of materials in this library research is written in a historical-analytical way. Accordingly, the questions of this paper are as follows: How is the apparent image of women in paintings of Qajar period to compare with other archaeological evidence? Is there any difference in the apparent appearance of the women left behind the archaeological evidence of the Qajar era, what factors has caused this difference? The results of the surveys show that we are seeing some kind of difference between the concepts of the pictures left and those of the paintings in this period. In the Qajar period, the painters have tended to face the idealism and lack of simulation. Therefore, it can be said that women in the paintings of this period are instrumental in expressing the glory of power and monarchy.

Music in Iran has a long history. In the early Islamic period, music was denounced. In the Umayyad period, music still faced opposition from some jurisprudents and a group of Muslims. But in the next century, due to positive attitude of governments as well as scientific attitudes of many scholars and scientists of that era, arts received public attention. The design of women was carved on clay during the Seljuk and Ilkhanid for many reasons. These designs can be a valuable resource to check the state of music and social status of women. This article, studying pottery designs in the Medieval Islamic eralocated in the artistic treasures and based on ancient texts, aims to examine the social status of women and their role in the evolution of music art during that era. The current research is fundamental in terms of purpose and historical-analytical in terms of method. Data collection was performed using historical-library resources. Furthermore, pottery samples of museums during different periods, especially in medieval Islam with respect to central role of woman, have been analyzed. The results show that many musicians of the period, especially female musicians, had an appropriate social status. Moreover, ceramic designs of this period show that women played instruments such as strings and percussion more.
