Arhat (Jīvaka)

In the legend, Jīvaka ārya was trying to persuade his younger brother to do good, and so disrobed to let his brother see that Buddha is in his heart. Thus he is also known as the open-heart Arhat. Xia Jing Shan’s Jīvaka ārya has an open look to him, using simplistic contrast to illustrate a rich yet delicate body shape, and set against the lotuses to give a refreshed and refined look.
