昭化寺十六羅漢圖
中國
位於大雄寶殿東西二壁。殿內四壁繪水陸畫，共計四十七幅，其中東西二壁上層，由北而南第一幅均畫羅漢，東壁榜題為「聖僧羅漢眾」，西壁是「□□□羅漢眾」，兩幅內容一致，每幅八尊，共為十六羅漢。每幅羅漢身側伴隨有童子或侍者。
十六羅漢布置高低錯落，雖形貌有別，顰伸俯仰，各具姿態，然彼此呼應。羅漢或坐或立，其間穿插山石、樹木，並有家具陳設。
其中一羅漢著青色袈裟，垂足倚坐，側身低頭似正降伏前方老虎；老虎尾巴高揚，前足伏地，昂首目視羅漢，似已被降伏。羅漢身後隱一侍者，另有一侍者趴伏於圓形竹凳上。伏虎羅漢身側一羅漢手持經卷，坐於扶手椅上，一羅漢拄杖立於山石後，均泰然自若，與侍者面露驚懼之色形成鮮明對比。
畫面人物生動傳神，表現羅漢住世護法，隨機化現的境地。
