Illustration of the Sutra on the Descent of Maitreya

Ink and color on silk

彌勒下生經變相 悔前

韓國

據畫面下方題記,得知繪製於「至正十年(1350)」,即高麗忠定王二年,僧玄哲率施主二十餘人發願而作,由悔前繪成。
 作品依據《彌勒下生經》繪製,畫面分為上下二段。上段為彌勒佛在龍華樹下說法的場景,彌勒佛倚坐於中央,左右為法華林與大妙相二脇侍菩薩,周圍環繞帝釋、梵天、四天王及十大弟子等。佛頂上有雲彩及華麗寶蓋,寶蓋兩側為十方佛和伎樂天。下段為彌勒佛下生於翅頭大城的情景,城中雕梁畫棟、平台曲檻、寶樹寶幢,最下端為農民犁田耕種,刈稻豐收的場面。
 此圖的彌勒三尊像為韓國少見的倚坐姿勢,比例稍大,輪廓和細部線條缺乏動感,略微生硬。色彩以紅、綠為主,部分使用金泥,作品色彩和技法繼承了高麗佛畫的傳統。
