Original fileThis hanging scroll depicts the Luohan Bhadra, a holy figure in Buddhist tradition known for his meditative focus and supernatural mastery. The figure is shown with a shaved head and monastic robes, resting amidst a natural setting, holding an ornamental scepter that signifies authority or spiritual insight. The painting employs delicate ink and color washes on silk to convey a sense of calm, otherworldly presence.
