Bodhidharma Portrait - Traditional Chinese Buddhist Painting #142343 (License: Personal Use)

This traditional East Asian hanging scroll depicts Bodhidharma, the Indian monk credited with transmitting Chan Buddhism to China, shown barefoot on turbulent waves, symbolizing his legendary crossing of the Yangtze River on a reed. He wears layered white robes with gold embroidery, holds a small vessel in one hand and gestures with the other, while stylized clouds swirl around him against a textured brown background. The composition reflects Ming or early Qing dynasty stylistic conventions, emphasizing spiritual authority and mystical power.
