Mounted on wooden boards and pierced in the corners, these cartoons were the working copies which would have been tied to the looms while the weavers worked. They were numbered on the back, suggesting that once they had completed a particular section, the weavers could ask their overseer (ousta) to bring them the following numbered section.

The depiction of animals in a densely-filled field of scrolling vines is a common feature of Hagop's weaving. However, the two cartoons in this group displaying part of a lobed medallion, are particularly relatable to the horizontally-woven rug woven by Hagop Kapoudjian for the Exposition Universelle of 1900, offered as lot 178 in the present sale.
