1705 (ca.), The Stipple Master, Maharaja Amar Singh II Is Shown Two Silver Elephants -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)
From the museum label: The semi-colored drawing technique seen here, a cross between grisalle tonal drawing – known in the Mughal tradition as nim qalam – and watercolor, developed at Udaipur and is associated with a master painter in the service of Amar Singh II and Sangram Singh II in the early eighteenth century. The style of this anonymous artist, called the Stipple Master, remained a singular phenomenon at that court. He devoted himself exclusively to painting portraits of his patrons.
