The picture shows that the Bodhisattva is sitting on a white elephant and talking with disciples and believers. The characters have round and vigorous lines, and some of their faces are slightly deformed, with vivid expressions. The flowers and trees in the picture are beautiful. The branches, flowers and leaves of the flowers and trees are outlined with sharp ink lines and filled with thick pigments. The colors are clear and elegant, and highly decorative, depicting the peaceful and peaceful state of Buddhism. The figures of the bodhisattva and monks in the picture are quite close to the secular mortals, with the “image of the world”, which not only reflects the author’s exquisite, ancient and exaggerated style characteristics, but also presents the distinctive characteristics of “Buddhist art”. The combination of Buddhist belief and daily life, and the mutual consideration of Buddhist scriptures and art are also the common characteristics of Buddhist paintings in the late Ming Dynasty.
