A slim youth walks dreamily in a field of flowers. He
gently strokes his cheek with a bunch of narcissus, and has another spray tucked into his collar for lingering pleasure.
Made by an migr artist from Persia, this painting has an attenuated Persian manner, quite different from the
luscious style developed by this time in the court of Jahangir. Its theme is common in Persian poetry and painting, where delicate youths are described as the reflection of the beauty of heaven on earth. The painting was probably accompanied by a verse now lost.
The memoirs of Mughal emperors - particularly Babur - record infatuations with lovely young boys. Not secluded like women, these favorites often gained high rank and wealth, arousing sharp jealousies within the court.

The street of the Lords, in the Middle Ages Bürgerstraße, also Bürgergasse (citizen's alley), is the name of a baroque boulevard in the center of Graz and a center of public life of the Styrian capital. It connects the main square with the square at the Iron Gate, near the Jakomini Square, the center of public transport from Graz. It runs approximately parallel to the Mur (river) on the left Murseite (side) in north-south direction. All Graz tram lines drive through the Herrngasse, largely pedestrianized and is therefore closed to other private transport since November 1972.
History
The territory of today Herrngasse is old settlement area, where finds were made also from the Hallstatt period.
(The Hallstatt culture was the predominant Central European culture from the 8th to 6th centuries BC (European Early Iron Age), developing out of the Urnfield culture of the 12th century BC (Late Bronze Age) and followed in much of Central Europe by the La Tène culture. It is commonly associated with Proto-Celtic and Celtic populations in the Western Hallstatt zone and with (pre-) Illyrians in the eastern Hallstatt zone.
By the 6th century BC, it spanned across territories north-south from the Main, Bohemia, the Little Carpathians, the Swiss plateau, the Salzkammergut, down to the border between Lower Styria and Lower Carniola, and from the western zone, that included Champagne-Ardenne, the Upper Rhine, and the upper Danube, to the eastern zone, that included Vienna Basin and the Danubian Lowland, for some 1000 km.)

At the southern end of Lord Street (approximately in the range of today's sacristan alley) was the 1261 mentioned, walled Jewish ghetto. Between 1457 and 1475 the citizens' street where dwelt the most respected citizens of Graz was renamed Herrengasse, since more and more nobles acquired a property here.

Anyone know what these little scribbles mean? They are both the same. Maybe it is some sort of numbering system or signature or something??
