Seated Amitabha with Attendants

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a large painting of a seated Buddha figure surrounded by multiple smaller figures, on a fabric. The central figure is a large red and white Buddha sitting cross-legged on a platform, with hands resting in lap. The Buddha has black hair styled in a topknot and wears a white shawl draped over right shoulder. Ears are adorned with long earrings. The Buddha sits on a platform decorated with carvings and ornaments. Two attendants flank the Buddha, one on each side. The background of the painting features intricate designs and patterns in shades of red, beige, and gold. Smaller figures are arranged around the central Buddha, including several on the top, left, and right sides. The bottom of the painting features a row of small circular images of seated figures. The overall color palette is predominantly red, beige, and gold, with some darker shades. The fabric appears to be aged and worn, with visible signs of wear around the edges.
