十六羅漢圖
中國
無款。共計十六幅，每幅高129.9公分，寬52.9公分。羅漢只見立姿，不見坐式，異於一般十六羅漢圖像。羅漢身著僧袍，外披袈裟，足趿繩鞋，少數履鞋。雙手合十、籠袖、放掌或持經函、長柄香爐、如意、拂塵、團扇、禪杖等不同姿勢。其中十尊羅漢身側伴有侍者。侍者身形較小，赤足，蠻奴形象，雙手或合十，或捧布巾、哈達等物。中國元代（1271～1368）作品，現為日本重要文化財。
十六幅羅漢中，僅二羅漢採正面立姿，其餘或側身向左，或側身向右，此姿態在一般羅漢畫中較為少見。羅漢五官、手足線描纖細而輕淡，衣紋則筆致較為粗重，全身薄施暈染，富有立體感；袈裟幾乎未施花紋圖樣，僅於部分田相紋繪華麗圖案。全畫造型嚴謹，線條運筆流暢，疏密有致，設色沉著，是元代繪畫中的佳作。
