The venerable has an ancient, solemn bearing and a devout expression, showing the weight of one who transmits the Buddha's mind-seal, carries forward the Buddha-seed and inherits the style of the seven buddhas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePainted by Li Zongyi in the freehand Chinese ink (xieyi) tradition, the brushwork is fluent and the ink tones layered from dense to pale, capturing the arhat’s spirit in a few assured strokes.
