Durga and Kali Approach the Gathered Armies of Chanda and Munda: Scene from the Devi Mahatmya. Culture: India (Himachal Pradesh, Guler). Dimensions: 7 3/4 x 11 5/8 in. (19.7 x 29.5 cm). Date: ca. 1780.The second great battle in the Devi Mahatmya occurs when Durga tells the terrible demon Shumbha that she will only marry a man who defeats her in battle.

Charcoal, white chalk, pastel, and black crayon on gray-green, moderately thick, slightly textured wove paper., 12 5/16 x 17 7/16 in. (31.3 x 44.3 cm). Lent by Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., L81.62 (Photo: Drawing was a vitally important practice for the artist Elihu Vedder, who ultimately was best known for his work as an illustrator. His preparatory works have a distinctive substantiality and force, owing to his skill in employing expressive, heavy outlines and dramatic contrasts of light and dark. Achieving these effects in his preliminary drawings through the use of charcoal and chalks (rather than the more restrained medium of pencil), Vedder sought a similar visual effect in his finished paintings by employing equally decisive contours and bold modeling in light and dark.

Study of Two Soldiers Swordfighting. Artist: Adam Frans van der Meulen (Flemish, Brussels 1632-1690 Paris). Dimensions: sheet: 6 9/16 x 9 7/16 in. (16.7 x 23.9 cm). Date: 17th century.Van der Meulen was active mostly in France, where he served as a court painter to King Louis XIV and specialized in historical and military scenes. This drawing of two soldiers in a sword fight reflects the artist's fascination with battle themes; instead of confronting one another, however, the two men seem to be battling an external opponent located beyond the frame. The format and cropping enhance the sense of fleeting action: the soldier on the left appears to be caught entering the scene while the one on the right has started to leave it. The application of black and white chalk is swift and free--echoing the fast movement of sword fighting--with only a few marks for facial expressions and a focus on bodily gestures. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
