A man in white clothes sits cross-legged on a bare ground, bent over a large sheet of tan paper spread on the floor. He is tracing or drawing a curling scrollwork ornament with a pen-like tool, while a dark blue sheet lies beside his hand. Other sheets with drawn motifs, a wooden board, a wooden straight edge, and scattered books and a suitcase surround him in dappled sunlight.

A man in white shirt and white dhoti with a green border, wearing glasses, holds a sheet of paper with a carved-design drawing on a wooden board and points with a pencil. A young man in a dark t-shirt and blue shorts crouches beside a green bucket and reaches toward the board. A man in an olive-green striped shirt and pink patterned cloth kneels in front, tracing the design. Behind them, stacks of pale sculpted and moulded figure pieces and cloth bags are piled near tools on the floor.2013-06-23June 07 20132013-06-07A close photograph of a craftsperson's hand tracing a blue-ink scroll and cloud-like floral design onto a sheet of white paper laid over a reddish-brown metal surface with a gold-coloured edge. Only a hand and forearm are visible, with another person's foot at the top edge, so no face or a person candidate appears. The design appears to be a decorative motif prepared for metalwork or engraving.2013-06-17A workshop scene where three men sit on the floor around a low wooden board tracing a paper design. The man on the left wears a white shirt and white dhoti with a green-and-gold border and eyeglasses, and he points with a pen at the drawing. A young man in a dark top and blue shorts crouches beside a green plastic bucket, and another man in an olive-green striped shirt and red patterned lungi bends over the sheet. Behind them are tools, a wooden stool, and a pile of pale moulded forms and bags, with pottery and a shelf in the background.2013-06-23December 20 20092009-12-20September 05 20062006-09-05 +1 copiesTwo men in white dhoti and shirt sit on the floor of a workshop carving and hammering metal panels for a temple. The man in front works with a chisel on a copper-coloured plate resting on a wooden block, while the man behind uses a small hammer on a gilded ornamental piece. Around them lie a curved gilded decorative frame, a wooden block, metal tools and scattered metal shavings, with a concrete block wall and a carved wooden table behind.2006-11-20A man in plain white clothes, a white shirt and white dhoti, stands bent over a large flat plank of pale wood laid on wooden trestles in an open-sided workshop. He holds a long thin metal scribe or marking tool and appears to be marking or measuring the board. A steel rule lies on the wood. Behind him, a concrete block wall holds hanging white cloths, wooden poles, tools, a yellow plastic bag and a bucket. Wood offcuts, a curved wooden piece and other scraps lie on the sandy ground.2009-12-16June 17 20132013-06-17
