“Portrait of Guanyin painted by Wu Daozi” (Rubbing, Republic of China period)
Painting copying attributed to Ye Chengtiao, from original by Wu Daozi
Stele erected in 1664, now held in the Xi’an Forest of Steles

This rubbing is from a Qing dynasty stele that contains a full-length portrait of the Buddhist deity, Guanyin (Avalokiteśvara). The famed painter, Wu Daozi (689-759), purportedly painted a portrait of Guanyin, and then it was copied by Ye Chengtiao in 1664. The original stele was erected in 1664, and is now preserved in the Forest of Steles in Xi’an.
