The method of this research is included in the category of studies with qualitative approach and semiotic method. The data of this research includes 80 murals in the city of Tehran, which were selected with a purposeful method from among the custom murals in the main squares of the city of Tehran and to represent the face and clothing components of women. The period of choosing wall paintings is June and July of 1402. The number of data selections was determined by reaching the saturation stage.

Findings of the research: 

In the images used in the wall paintings of Tehran, the clothing components represented in these images were fully veiled and fully covered, which did not match the variety of women's clothing in the society. The faces represented in these pictures are devoid of any cheerfulness and beauty and are mostly represented as sullen and sad faces.

The representation of women's faces and clothing in wall paintings is an inconsistent representation and does not match the realities of women in society. This mismatch in the field of clothing and makeup, appearance, is clearly comparable. The images represented in the wall paintings are women without any vitality.
