Bodhidharma (Daruma) is a 1836 unspecified by Daikan Monju, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This painting is a portrait of a man with a long white beard and mustache, wearing a headband and robes. The subject's facial expression is serious, and his eyes are cast downward. The painting is rendered in shades of black and gray, with bold brushstrokes that give the image a sense of energy and movement. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye into the image.
