Mogao Cave 17: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva

Ink and color on silk

觀音菩薩像

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。繪製於九世紀下半葉。圖中央繪立姿觀音菩薩,頭戴化佛寶冠,頭光明亮柔和。長眉細目,唇上有小髭。右手仰掌托淨瓶,左手自然下垂。背景飾以花葉及雲氣紋,與菩薩身上飄動的帔巾形成優美的呼應。畫面左上角有長方形榜題,未書寫文字。圖下方略有殘損。
 觀音兩側有童男、童女,左側童女頭髮分梳左右,覆耳,髮紋整齊,著紅色花樣上衣,下裙垂至腳邊,執花供養;右側童男結雙鬟髻,著粉紅色花樣狀似圍兜的上衣,腳跟上提,身軀前傾,恭謹合十。
 此圖之特色在於菩薩上身較長,予人巨大之感。整體比例頭部碩大,手臂顯得修長,天衣與飾物的表現稍微平板,但身軀之線描略見圓潤。相較於菩薩形式化表現,兩側的童男、童女供養人顯得活潑可愛。
