Qing Imperial Palace: Embroidery of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
Silk
刺繡觀音菩薩像 蔣王氏
中國
清宮舊藏。湖色緞地刺繡觀音菩薩像，造型似氣質脫俗的漢家女子，與一般觀音造像有異。蔣王氏乃清乾隆年間（1736～1795）大學士蔣浦之妻。
菩薩橢圓臉形，眉眼細長，面貌清秀慈和。頂梳雲髻，兩綹長髮垂肩，眉眼及頭髮著色點染。著窄袖裙袍，腰繫絲綯及環佩。雙手交握於腹前，左手持楊柳枝，側身扭頭而立，俯視口銜數珠的鸚鵡。鸚鵡赤喙朱爪、黑睛白羽，層次分明，生動傳神，似有振翅飛出畫面之感。
觀音除跣足、手持柳枝外，無論服飾、髮型或是姿態，都與明代（1368～1644）繪畫中的仕女形象相似，清新雅麗的風格也如出一轍。此作繡線劈絲極細，運針縝密，所用針法多元，包括齊針、套針、釘線、平金、纏針等。圖軸邊角鈐「乾隆內府諸印」鑑藏印記。
