鄒一桂 仿李公麟十八羅漢像 水墨紙本 手卷Most well known as a court painter of colorful birds and flowers under the Qianlong Emperor, Zou Yigui also painted figures in the monochromatic baimiao tradition. Here the artist depicts a procession of luohan, some accompanied by their mascots, witnessing divine occurrences or engaged in discourse. Relying solely on subtle ink washes and brushed lines, the detailed figures contrast with the absence of a background setting. An album by Zou Yigui using the same technique, but illustrating stories from the life of Su Dongpo, was sold at Chirstie's Hong Kong 28 May 2012 lot 2776.
