Avalokiteśvara is dressed in white, sitting in padmasana position on straw mats. While different paint strokes and folding techniques are used to present textures of the straw mat and rustic Avalokiteśvara’s feature, Xia Jing Shan uses pale blue-green palette in backdrop to illuminate the serene and clear appearance with the use of ocher color. This artwork perfectly portrays the Avalokiteśvara’s gentle and compassionate traits.
