The venerable makes a listening gesture with an attentive look, possessing the attentiveness of responding to the cry, saving upon hearing, like echo to sound, answering beings' hearts without break.\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.
