Seated figure in a red robe with blue-tinted hair beside a tan animal, under large trees, on a Ming dynasty hanging scroll.

Shakyamuni under the Bodhi Tree

A seated robed figure with blue-tinted hair and beard wears a red robe and rests on a rock beside a crouching tan animal. Dark tree trunks and fan-shaped green foliage frame him against brown and blue mountain washes on silk.

Look closer: A small white cloth lies draped near the seated figure's feet beside the animal.
