Most of the resources are unanimous in the formal changes of the haft-orange collection of Ibrahim Mirza in the Safavid era which is reserved in the Freire complex (Washington). this research is based on the analytical-descriptive way of reading a painting that called visiting Majnoon and Lilly and relying on the method of aesthetic sociology. applying the ideas of R. Whitkin we try to answer to this question: how can we able to provide the perceptual background of artists in the Safavid era? For this purpose, first we concentrate on the binary oppositions of the painting like humans and nature, cold and warm colors, writing (calligraphy) and image, center and margin, and so on. The result of such a focus is the highlighting the formal characteristics and style of this painting. at last, We will relate the formalistic level to the level of social context, along with the introduction of the perception system of the first period of the Safavid era. Some effective reasons stem from Artistic conventions, safavid historical imagination toward nature, Ibrahim mirza`s taste and shah tahmasb convertion. The result of the examination of a variety of binary oppositions and some social factors suggest that artists' perception was moving towards visual-tactile one.
