The image depicts a serene and majestic figure of Guanyin, also known as Avalokiteshvara or Kuan Yin, who is revered as a deity in Buddhism. The painting beautifully captures Guanyin seated gracefully on a lotus throne, surrounded by nine vibrant lotus flowers symbolizing purity and enlightenment. The intricate details of the artwork highlight the artist's skillful use of ink and color on silk, bringing to life this divine representation.
