About the piece
Created in the 17th century by Chen Hongshou, this painting demonstrates the artist’s characteristic 'iron-wire' line technique and penchant for expressive, elongated figures. Depicting a Lohan—an enlightened disciple—the work pays homage to ancient masters like Guanxiu while introducing a sophisticated, almost modern graphic sensibility that defines the Late Ming period.
