Drawing, Miniature: Seated Figure

This is a Drawing. It was created by Unknown. It is dated 18th century and we acquired it in 1962. Its medium is pen and black ink with watercolor and gold on paper, mounted. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.

In this drawing, the interweaving of forms helps create pictorial density, particularly in the carpet and floor. This drawing likely references an older work, shedding light on the copying and reproduction tradition within miniature painting.

This object was donated by Ely Jacques Kahn. It is credited Gift of Ely Jacques Kahn.

This is a photograph of a hanging choga garment. A choga is a robe-like piece with long sleeves and a deep V-neck in the middle. This particular choga is white with orange and blue accents in repeated geometric patterns and simple shapes. The bright orange lines are along the wrists, bottom, and vertical beneath the V-neck and to the right and left of the V-neck. Framing the orange linework are repeated feather-like patterns in orange, blue, and olive green. These geometric feathers are stacked in between small rows of other geometric forms: triangles in between arrows pointing up and down. Around the whole piece except for the shoulders are spread out diamonds made of small squares and small, sideways houses along the piece's torso. The garment itself has a very airy, light, breathable fabric texture.
