Two Lohans ca. 1480 Images of ascetic figures such as these, referred to as lohans in Buddhist tradition, appear regularly in Chinese art.

While these materials require further investigation, signed and dated pieces in the albums fall mostly within the reign of the Aq Quyunlu ruler Sultan Ya'qub (r. 1478-90), who reigned at Tabriz.

Radha's Hair Being Dressed, c. 1790-1800. Northern India, Himachal Pradesh, Pahari Kingdom of Kangra. Ink with touches of color on paper; image: 25 x 17 cm (9 13/16 x 6 11/16 in.); overall: 29.7 x 20.3 cm (11 11/16 x 8 in.). This drawing is probably a study for a finished painting rather than an underdrawing that was meant to be painted over, due to the care and attention given to the fine details and expressions. Our attention is so focused on Radha in the center, as she applies an ornament in the mirror, that we scarcely notice Krishna peeping at her from a second-story window. Her attendants hold up a curtain to give her privacy, while others fix her hair, hold the mirror, whisk away the flies, and bring her drinks. In the background, female musicians carry instruments for a performance.

Putto Study, for the Lid of the Graham Family Piano ca. 1879 Sir Edward Burne-Jones Burne-Jones's dynamic sketch of a naked child who bends to look under a vine while singing or shouting relates to a decorated piano lid that shows Mother Earth (Terra Omniparens) surrounded by vines and twenty-one children. The 1879 commission came from William Graham, a Scottish merchant and politician who presented the piano to his daughter Frances on her twenty-first birthday. In the related painting, naughty putti are characterized as miniature satyrs with pointed forelocks and tiny horns. The child shown here, however, seems instread to embody youthful energy, with wide open eyes and mouth (on the piano lid, Burne-Jones adapted the figure, closed the mouth and hid the eyes behind the vine). Only a few studies survive for this project and this example stands out for its spontaneity.. Putto Study, for the Lid of the Graham Family Piano.
