Footnotes

西藏 十九世紀 三世班禪恩薩羅桑丹珠唐卡

Wensapa Lobzang Dondrub (1505-64) was posthumously granted the title of the Third Panchen Lama. He studied the Mahamudra teachings of Tsongkhapa with Chokyi Dorje, who appears in a circular rainbow halo in the upper left corner of the painting. Seated within an idyllic verdant landscape, Wensapa is surrounded by a congregation of students ready to receive his instruction from the sutra set before them. Appearing in the upper right corner is the Buddhist protector Mahachakra Vajrapani floating in a blanket of clouds while in the bottom right is Yama Dharmaraja emerging from brown, dense-packed flames.

This painting is an iteration of the famous Narthang Panchen Lama set, one sold at Sotheby's, New York, 16 March 2016, lot 739 and another located in the Natural History Museum, New York (HAR 94423), for which they both share a similar treatment in the clouds and palette with the present lot.
