Scroll Painting3065/20

Very long, horizontal scroll with line drawing in ink (baimiao 白描) of figures in an ocean scene, on brown paper. This handscroll depicts several Luohan crossing the sea. Men, women, sea creatures, dragons, demons and Buddha emerge from the waves and whitecaps of the continuous drawing. Some figures are richly dressed, others ragged and emaciated, carrying a variety of objects from fishing lines to bottles. The far right of the drawing takes place on land, showing a robed man surrounded by a tiger, warrior and demons. Red seals are stamped at each end of the painting. The work is mounted on silk fronted paper in cream colour, edged in dark yellow. A panel of mottled orange sits on the far right of the painting as well as a small panel of decorative, protective fabric on the underside. Wooden dowels are attached at each end of the piece, and a blue string with a jade button is sewn to the right dowel. The artist’s signature appears at the end of the scroll, and there is another square seal with four characters following these small seals, but it is not clear. Two more seals are in the lower left corner.
