This exquisite 18th century print depicts a Daoist Immortal, a revered figure in Chinese and Japanese folklore and religion, holding a sacred jewel. The Immortal is dressed in traditional clothing, with a long robe and a bearded face adorned with intricate carvings and later lacquer inlays. His costume, a blend of Asian and Daoist influences, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the time. The Immortal stands tall and proud, his hand cradling the jewel, which is intricately carved and inlaid with precious stones. The jewel represents the elixir of immortality, a symbol of eternal life and divine blessings. The Immortal's serene expression and regal posture exude an aura of power and wisdom, making him a beloved figure in Daoist and Taoist traditions. This hand-carved wooden statuette, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a masterpiece of 18th century art. The use of lacquer inlays adds an extra layer of texture and depth, making the Immortal's features stand out even more. The print is a rare and valuable object, a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Asia during the eighteenth century. This full-length studio shot captures the Immortal in all his glory, a testament to the enduring appeal of Daoist and Taoist beliefs and the beauty of Asian art. The print is now a part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
