Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Attendants

CHINA; Qing dynasty (1644-1911); By Min Zhen; Line drawing on paper; 92.9 x 37.5 cm; Shanghai Museum, China
In this drawing, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is shown sitting on the back of an auspicious creature flanked by Sangharama, Skanda, Sudhana, Nagakanya, and the Four Heavenly Kings. The Bodhisattva has a peaceful expression, wears a headdress, and has a simple nimbus around the head. Swirling clouds fill the background. Fine, delicate lines and careful shading result in lively, detailed figures.
