Comments:This particular image of Guanyin is associated with the legendary Tang-dynasty painter Wu Daozi, a relationship that can be traced back to the Song dynasty. Several engravings in China dating between the Song and the Qing dynasties reproduce this image, including at the Forest of Steles (Beilin), in Xi’an, and at Chongsheng Temple in Dalifu, Yunnan. A rubbing with the same image and inscription is in the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago.The image is included in Marsha Weidner, et al., Latter Days of the Law: Images of Chinese Buddhism 850-1850 (University of Hawaii Press, 1994), cat. no. 7.
