Original fileThis circular painting portrays Guanyin, a figure of compassion, presiding over a gathering of sixteen enlightened disciples. The composition uses delicate ink and gold highlights to distinguish the figures, who are scattered among craggy mountains, swirling clouds, and a dramatic, wave-tossed sea. Several figures are positioned on a bridge, while others occupy the surrounding slopes, creating a sense of a sacred, transcendent assembly.
