Description:
|
The tall, thin figures in Celestial Girl Offering Flowers are further distinguished by the refined application of colors and the careful, detailed drawing. The bodhisattva's necklace, head decoration, and throne are inlaid with pearls and jewels, all of which is delineated in gold. Not a single line is carelessly drawn. The resilient quality of the brushwork and the flowing drapery lines are not entirely similar to Liu Songnian's Lohans, also in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei. Perhaps this is due to the different scales of the two works.
