devastatingly I do not. had trouble drumming up the photo I'm thinking of, but here's a (handwritten!) sample of someone clearly related to that style from a few years ago when I was in the 国史馆 annex in 木栅 or sth
A page of an archival document covered in Chinese text; the handwriting is unusually rectilinear for handwriting of the era, but has some stylish flourishes reminiscent of the modernist style described upthread. It was likely done with a pen rather than a brush (as neighboring, and even attached document drafts were).

From woodblock printing in the early modern period to Tibetan typewriters in the mid-20th century—and now thriving in the age of AI and digital technologies—Tibetan language and literature have survived (and adapted through) major technological transformations. #TibetanTypeWriters

We take for granted that the Tibetan language is well integrated into our digital devices, and we are familiar with the venerable history of hand carved woodblock printing in Tibet. But going back 50 ...

Flying Celestial (Apsara), from a set of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva and Flying Celestials https://collections.artsmia.org/art/17458/
Flying Apsaras, right arm outstretched, left holds a plate of flowers, left leg pendant, right knee flexed. These paintings were once part of a much larger composition—now dispersed among several collections in the United States—that originally formed the wall of a temple in north-central China, possibly Cishengsi in far northern Henan province. All together the set depicts a trio of seated bodhisattvas. Each one is flanked by standing attendant bodhisattvas and surrounded by other attendants performing rituals. They are also accompanied by flying celestials (apsara) in a paradise-like setting based on Esoteric Buddhist teachings. The seated bodhisattva here, originally the leftmost of the three primary figures, is backed by a halo and wears elaborate robes and jewelry. In his large crown is a small depiction of a buddha, the superior being from which the bodhisattva emanated.
