The Sixteen Luohans by Qiu Ying. A traditional Chinese ink painting on two panels. The panel on the left features one monk sitting cross-legged with his hands resting on his knee; he is bald with a mustache and wearing a robe. The right panel depicts three monks: one crouching and holding a long-handled staff with a flame-shaped head; one standing, taller with a mustache, wearing a robe; and one sitting on a stool offering an incense burner. The background of both panels is off-white with some darker mottling; they are adorned with four red seals.
