Underdrawing of Buddhist Painting

This underdrawing for Buddhist paintings features a picture plane filled with Buddhist subordinates drawn in ink. It seems to have been produced for practice or as a sample for showing to disciples rather than as a model for creating a full Buddhist painting. The depicted images include attendant boys, jailers, heavenly beings, and magistrates. It provides a glimpse into the daily work of a modern-era Buddhist monk-painter.
