Visual Summary

Brief Description

Standing figure with halo, crown, flowing garments, on a lotus, with dragon and canopy

Detailed Description

A vertical artwork on light brown, creased paper depicts a central standing figure. Above the figure, a green and red canopy with decorative elements hangs. The central figure stands facing forward, with light skin, a red halo behind its head, and a crown. It has a bare chest adorned with a necklace, and a green and blue skirt-like garment. Blue and red sashes or ribbons flow around its body. Its right arm is bent, holding a small object, and its left arm is bent, with the hand near its chest. The figure stands on a purple and green lotus pedestal. A blue and red dragon coils around the figure's lower legs and the base of the pedestal. Vertical text is visible on the left side of the paper, reading: "咸亨元年比丘法慧敬畫供養". The paper shows signs of age, including creases, tears, and discoloration.
