Tsong Khapa, Founder of the Geluk Order
A large image of a Buddhist monk sitting with hands clasped in prayer or contemplation. He has a serene expression on his face, closed eyes and a slight smile. The monk has a monk's cap on his head and is wearing a red robe. The background behind him is red with gold, blue and black designs. There are many smaller images around the monk along the edges of the painting. The smaller images are in a red background with gold outlines. They appear to be depictions of various other Buddhist monks or deities. At the bottom of the painting are several creatures including a horse, a yak and two frightening looking deities. The entire painting is surrounded by a thin red border.
