Two figures, arhats (Sanskrit for "one who is worthy") in exaggerated draped clothing and have elongated faces. One has black facial hair and a red outer robe. The other has grey hair and a green outer robe, and the figures palms are touching each other. Arhats are humans, rather than gods or dieties, who have achieved spiritual enlightenment.

This is a highly skilled reproduction of an original painting by Chen Hongshu (China) 1598-1652.
