Lines to indicate the eye socket are drawn above and below the lines of the eye itself. The four lines just mentioned are drawn in red, the eyebrow black. The pupil is a black spot. In large paintings the white of the eye on either side of the pupil is barred by vertical red lines, curved concentrically with the limit of the pupil. - [Previous: c19.31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.coomaraswamy-1908.c19.31) - [Next: c19.33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.coomaraswamy-1908.c19.33) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.coomaraswamy-1908.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.coomaraswamy-1908.c19.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.coomaraswamy-1908.c19.32) · Pramāṇa
