Bodhidharma Crossing the Yangzi on a Reed

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a hanging scroll titled "Bodhidharma Crossing the Yangzi on a Reed" by an unknown artist. The scroll is vertically oriented and has a beige background with two thin brown stripes near the top. A thicker brown band with a gold floral pattern is below the stripes. Another brown band and a wider beige section with a gold floral pattern are at the bottom. A simple line drawing of a man sitting on the ground with his legs crossed is in the center. The man has a beard and is wearing a robe with a round neck. He appears to be sitting on a reed or a boat. Chinese calligraphy is to the right of the figure. The scroll has a black background. The scroll appears to be hanging from a rod at the top.
