A THANGKA DEPICTING HVASHENG

TIBET, 18TH-EARLY 19TH CENTURY

The painting depicts the portly patron Hvasheng, surrounded by playful children, seated in rajalilasana on a brightly coloured cushion below a pine tree in a verdant garden with lotus blooms and a stream. In his hands he holds a persimon fruit and a string of prayer beads, mala. He gazes upon a smaller representation of himself in the lower register, receiving various offerings presented by devotees, many wearing fur-trimmed hats. A poetic inscription in gold runs along the lower edge of the painting praising Hvasheng. The thangka is mounted on brown, yellow and dark blue silk brocades, the latter brocade centred with a kesi dragon panel.

The panel 25 3/8 in. x 16 5/8 in. (64.5 cm. x 42.1 cm.), brocade and kesi dragon panel mounts
