Plate LVI., an unfinished study of an old man in facsimile, will show more of the technical beauty in this line-brush work, though the reproduction has failed to do full justice to the crispness of touch in the original. The Mogul artist, with his brush, could draw lines with the delicacy and fineness of the etcher's needle-point. This drawing approaches closer to the freedom of Chinese and Japanese masters than most of the Mogul line-work.
