Description

There is an eighth head, but its lower half is missing due to loss of the paper. The verso side features a large portrait of a man in profile. He has heavy-lidded eyes, a prominent nose, a large ear, and facial hair. Below him are small sketches of men’s heads in profile. Rajput Style, Kota School.
