A Study on the Clothing of Figures in the Wall Paintings of Esfahan’s Kaisariyeh Market

The present article aimed to investigate the clothing style of figures depicted on Isfahan's Kaisariyeh market entrance and study the design and color of these images. Various books and articles have been published on the historical and architectural background of Isfahan's Kaisariyeh market; nonetheless, there is a paucity of information on the wall paintings of this market.The exciting information presents the type of these paintings and their implementation. For instance, Shahabinejad et al. (2012), in his article entitled: "The perspective of Naghsh-e Jahan Square in Isfahan: values and Problems," studied this artwork and its visual, functional, and suggestive merits; however, the paintings depicted on the entrance have not been taken into account.Moreover, Ishaqi (2014) in his master's thesis entitled "Designing a Business-Recreational Center in Tehran District 4, Considering Architectural Impact on Increasing Efficiency" has used traditional markets, such as Isfahan's Kaisariyeh market, to design and create commercial venues. Tofangsaz (2014) in his master's thesis entitled "Revival of the dock of the mint complex of Isfahan's Kaisariyeh market" has studies the mint of this market and its revival. To the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted on the garments of figures depicted on wall paintings of Kaisariyeh market.
