| "G" mandala, watercolour 1888 (Anonymous) . These works were all produced by patients at various institutions around europe between the 18th and early 20th century, they show striking similarities and in some cases even identical symbolism to much earlier alchemical drawings of which the patients could have had no knowledge.
