Eighteen Arhats (detail)
羅漢圖 嚴宏滋
中國
畫上作者款署「乾隆庚辰歲（1760）嚴宏滋敬寫」。鈐印四：「宏」、「滋」、「江陰人」、「天子呼來」。收傳印記：「乾隆御覽之寶」、「乾隆鑑賞」、「秘殿珠林」、「三希堂精鑑璽」等，是一件清宮秘藏的白描傑作。
此卷十八羅漢布局高低錯落，左右各一組人物，彼此呼應。羅漢群像各具姿態，或手持數珠念佛，或相顧言笑，或化煙成龍，或抬頭仰望空中樓閣，或降龍，或伏虎，表現《大阿羅漢難提蜜多羅所說法住記》中羅漢「現種種形，蔽隱聖儀，同常凡眾」之情景。
圖中衣紋描法有的下筆略重，疏簡勻整；有的粗細分明，稠疊繁複，用筆變化多端。顏面、衣紋等處以墨暈染，在白描的基調上更增添豐富的層次。
