About this work

This painting shows a group of 13 Buddhas, all with halos, standing on clouds. They are arranged in a pyramid shape, with the largest Buddha at the center and the smaller ones around him. The Buddhas are all wearing traditional robes and have their hands in different positions. The painting has a dark background, which makes the Buddhas stand out. The artist has used a lot of gold paint to make the halos and robes shine.
