Hanging scroll of a seated white-robed Guanyin on a rock, with bamboo and a large pale halo behind her, in ink and pale.

White-Robed Guanyin

A seated figure in flowing white robes rests on a rock beside a slender bamboo sprig, her eyes lowered in calm. Ink bamboo stalks and leaves fill the upper left, while a large pale disc frames her head and shoulders. Soft ink washes and restrained color give the hanging scroll a quiet, meditative atmosphere.

Look closer: A small bamboo sprig in a vase rests on the rock beside her right hand.
