The following pages contain four images. Examine the images carefully. Identify which one is
most likely a Sakya lineage painting, which is a painting that illustrates the Yuan-Sakyapa style
from Shalu Monastery, which one may illustrate the Karma Gadri style of painting, and which
may illustrate the Menri style of painting. Give your reasoning, along with as much description
or discussion of the content or identification of the images as needed to support your argument.
In particular, discuss any differences you can observe in pictorial devices and specific forms
used in landscapes and background areas, overall composition and layout, placement of
subsidiary elements, and use of background elements; how do they differ in the choices in color
scheme?
