第62章 Arhat with Horsetail Whisk-Anonymous

Arhat with Horsetail Whisk, a Yuan Dynasty(1279.1368) painting scroll by an unknown author, ink and color on silk, 138.5cm×75cm.

Under a banyan tree, an arhat taking horsetail whisk on hand sits cross-legged, seeming to enchant sutra. The arhat is dressed in bright color, with a band of Buddha’s halo over his head. His countenance is depicted delicately and vividly. Its painting style is similar with other Yuan Dynasty works of the same kind.
