Authenticity
Every listing states where and when it was painted and in what materials. We only sell contemporary work by living painters — never antiques — and your tax invoice carries the same description as this page.
Hanging and care
Hang away from direct sun and heaters. Roll from the bottom, painting side in. Never fold. Dust with a soft dry brush; never use water on the painted surface.
Why this one
Maitreya, the Buddha of the future, seated on a throne with both feet resting on a small lotus — the posture of one ready to rise and come into the world. His hands are at his heart in the gesture of teaching, holding the stems of flowers that bloom at his shoulders. Makara and dragon heads rise from the carved throne back, and a stupa sits in his crown.
Black-and-gold style, the golden body painted in warm ochre against the dark ground.
Painted on a single cotton canvas, unmounted. Ships rolled in a rigid tube from Sydney, or we can arrange a silk brocade mount.
