Both are wearing monastic robes, and their faces with a serene expression. Above them is placed a parasol. The upper register sees two other Buddhas of the Past. All Buddhas are embroidered with their names in dBu.can script; in brocade mounting.

Property of a French noble family, the collection was formed by the present owner's great-grandfather, from late 19th century to early 20th century.

專家說明

A limited number of appliqués of this type prevailed from 17th to 19th century. An example dated to the early Qing dynasty, depicting a seated Ratnasambhava rendered in a similar composition as the present thangka, but the work was constructed in Tibet, illustrated by J. E. Vollmer, Silks for Thrones and Altars, Chinese Costumes and Textiles, Myrna Myers, 2003, no. 69. Also, compare with two other examples, dated to 18th-19th century, illustrated op. cit., no. 68, of Tibetan construction, and no. 70, Mongolian construction.
