Avalokitesvara sits on a rock among splendid golden-outlined landscape. She lowers her gaze as if meditating and lays eyes on the worshipers. Dragon King appears beneath the rock. Dragon King is usually described as a subordinate to Avalokitesvara because Avalokitesvara has the features of a deity of water in the beliefs of ancient India. The hues of the work display a tranquil and peaceful ambience.

題跋：觀世音菩薩修行法 促聞思修入三摩地 初入聞中入流亡所所入既寂 動靜二相了然不生 如是漸增聞所聞盡 盡聞不住覺所覺空 空覺極圓空所空滅 生滅既寂 寂滅現前 忽然超越世出世間 十方圓明護二殊勝 一者上合十方諸佛 本妙覺心與佛如來同一慈力二者下合十方一切六道眾生與諸眾生同一悲仰 這是如幻聞薰聞修金剛三昧 辛卯霜秋於京都夏荊山叩拜
