Nanha's contemporaries

"Portrait of Maharaja Bhim Kanwar", Folio from the Shah Jahan Album, by Nanha, verso: ca. 1615–29; recto: ca. 1540
Painting of Judith, naked, holding sword, with head of Holophernes.
The image shows a landscape viewed from above. The scene is oval, framed by tree branches on each side. Distant mountains form a boundary near the top. Delicate, finely executed lines create detailed foliage and landscape features. A winding path with a small figure adds scale. Lush trees climb upwards, with a muted color palette of the paper and dark brown and black lines providing contrast.
Portrait of a Young Man, by Dosso Dossi, c. 1530
The Musicians, by Caravaggio, 1597
Portrait of the artist’s great-granduncle Yizhai at the age of eighty-five, by Ruan Zude, dated 1561 or 1621

Their contemporaries, second

  1. This is a drawing of a heraldic emblem. The image shows a centaur-like figure holding a bow and arrow, with leaves around its head. Below, there is a shield divided into two sections: the upper part shows shapes resembling birds, while the lower part shows a hound-like animal in a running pose. The shield is surrounded by swirling acanthus-like leaves, with additional decorative elements and a blank scroll space below it.
