番王禮佛圖

中國

無款印,引首處唐俞書「番王禮佛」四字。卷後有元代(1271~1368)妙聲、李簡、余澤、易偉等八家題跋,遞經明代(1368~1644)吳寬、清(1644~1911)初高士奇以及清內府收藏。
 畫面布局頗具匠心,構圖分為左右兩部分,右側佛陀坐於蓮座上,座下波濤洶湧,佛身後有火焰紋背光。左側岸邊一番王頭戴羽冠,虯髯長髮,神情謙恭,仰視佛陀,雙手合十跪於胡毯上;其後立三十人,多為高鼻深目、卷髮長鬚,手或持瓶,或籠袖,或合十,神情、姿態各異,或沉思,或相顧。
 全圖幾乎純用均勻細密的線條勾勒,只於佛陀身後大幅留白,表示祥雲。在細密而富於動感的水波與背光的襯托下,佛陀顯得尤為突出。
 此圖白描手法與元代王振鵬摹馬雲卿維摩演教圖較為相似,水平較高,可能亦是元代宮廷畫家所作。元代白描盛行,王振鵬、朱玉、張渥等皆有不少白描作品傳世,多以宗教為題材。
