The venerable has a striking, vigorous appearance with a nāga's heroic air turned toward purity, showing the vastness of the Dharma that liberates even non-human beings.\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.
