Standing Guanyin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a sculpture of Standing Guanyin by an unknown artist. The sculpture is of a standing figure with a serene expression. The figure has a round face with a subtle smile, and eyes cast downward. The figure wears a crown-like structure on its head. The figure is dressed in long robes with folds and creases. The right hand is bent at the elbow with the palm facing outwards. The left hand holds a staff. The sculpture appears to be made of dark material, possibly wood or stone, with visible signs of wear and tear. The background is a plain light-colored wall with a shadow cast by the sculpture.
