Painting of the Lone Arhat of Jijangsa Temple

This painting, preserved in the Samseonggak, the Hall of the Three Sages, at Jijangsa Temple, depicts the Lone Arhat seated beneath an old pine tree, leaning against a rock while receiving an offering from an attendant boy. It measures 95.5 cm in width and 121 cm in height, and is painted in colour on silk. It is a typical example of 19th-century paintings of the Lone Arhat; the rendering of the waterfall, trees and flowers in the background, and of the flowing robes, is somewhat unskilled, but the distinctive pose and gentle facial expression are striking, and the transparent halo, which lends depth to the painting, also draws the eye.
