Listed among the five hundred arhats, it signifies liberating beings according to their kind and walking the path at ease. The venerable appears as an Indian monk with a serene look, the painting showing only his calm, free practice of the holy life; the original should be checked against canon and artwork.\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. The blank paper itself breathes Zen; figure and spirit are one, blending monastic solemnity with the literati’s ease. Each of the Five Hundred Arhats bears its own name and practice, uniting faith, art and collectibility — an original, non-reproducible hand-painted work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize: approx. 100×50cm (4.5 square chi) | Traditional hand-painted Chinese ink Zen Buddhist figure painting | On paper\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Treascol Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47410929860796,"sku":"TCArhats262","price":6900.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/6291\/0652\/files\/TCArhats262--100x50cm-4.5.jpg?v=1788610996","url":"https:\/\/treascol.com\/en-au\/products\/500-arhats-262","provider":"Treasure Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
