Mogao Cave 17: Seated Buddha
Ink and color on paper
佛坐像
甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土
甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土。佛帶紅色頭光，設色先以較淡的紅色平塗，再用深紅於中間畫圓，表現多重光；身光為明亮的藍色，再外飾以紅色邊緣；為表現背光的透明感，只以墨線在外緣略施暈染。
佛著黑色袈裟，內裡的顏色與身光同，僧祇支則敷以更淡的紅色。其雙手張開、掌心朝外結印，結跏趺坐於重瓣蓮座上，蓮瓣瓣尖施加暈染。佛左邊榜題未書寫文字，右邊題「南无（廣）大佛」四字。
整體構圖簡單，設色單純，但運用不同筆法，簡單卻富有變化。此圖令人聯想到敦煌壁畫的千佛圖，推測當時應畫有多幅相同形式的佛像。
