This painting is a gem in WEI YANG ART collection. It highlights the Tang (618-907) artistic style preserved in the Dunhuang Buddhist cave-temples. It achieves an exquisite synthesis of foreign influences balanced with Chinese aesthetic values. The painting is unique in its combination of a rich floral motif, jewelry ornamentation, and vegetable vocabulary. The dark skin of the subject is the result of the oxidization of mineral pigments used in coloring.

Buddhist Paintings offered at WEI YANG ART consists of the highest-quality hand-painted Buddhist paintings from the Silk Road. Most of our Buddhist paintings are based on wall paintings in the Mogao Caves at Dunhuang (Gansu province) in northwestern China. They were painted by the school-trained professional artsits currently employed by Dunhuang Research Academy. We also offer Buddhist paintings in the styles of famous ancient Buddhist art currently held in the British Museum (London), the Musée Guimet (Paris), and the Hermitage Museum (St. Petersburg).
