Zhang Daqian depicted Guanyin in a kindly, compassionate posture of Bhodi Pallanka (seat of enlightenment) amid rocks. She gazes at the "pure bottle" which is said to offer benedictions. Guanyin is drawn with carefully modelled lines, with her garment rendered in "double outlines" to accentuate the lightness of the material which lends to the tranquil surrounding and atmosphere.
