The issue of hunting in the art of drawing of any period has several kinds of trends and thoughts proportional to their own time. Safavid kings by holding some special artistic workshops and Ateliers, made the art of drawing as a practical art. By having the painters in hand, they wanted them to provide pictures and drawings for other artistic products like carpets, no doubt it could be said that of the reasons why the carpets of Safavid period are permanent is following and getting the models from standard and defined criteria and principles applied in the field of drawing and as in Safavid period specially Tabriz school, the paiters and followers of Behzad style including Sultan Mohammad made the drawing to improve, such a development in the field of carpet is also justifiable for us.
