Catalogue Note

The present thangka depicts three arhats riding on a giant carp traveling to the Court of the Chinese Emperor. This would have belonged to a larger set of thangkas depicting episodes from the journey the arhats made to China. While textual sources are inadequate and late regarding this narrative, they name Taizong of the Tang Dynasty as the Emperor of China in the story. Another example from a set depicting three arhats riding a carp is in the Donald and Shelley Rubin Collection (Himalayan Art Resources, item no. 704.).
