Shi Qian,
The Flea on a Drum

Same position, same clothes, that is the very same thief represented by these two paper-cuts. However, the surrounding is quite different and the stolen object is not the same. The first craftsman chose to represent the scene where Shi Qian steals a rooster provoking the war against the Zhu Family, the second prefered to show him stealing away the Goose-Feathers Armour.

Duan Jing-zhu
Le Chien à Poils d'Or

Same attitude, same clothing, the model is obviously the same but the left paper-cut shows better the fair hair of the horses-thief and his features are far more expressive.
