This painting depicts the arhats Bakula, Rahula, Ajita, and Panthaka, who are presented fruit offerings by two lay worshippers, both carrying monochrome porcelain dishes on pink and white ground. Enclosed within a balustrade of deep-blue color, the arhats bask within a cloud-blanketed mountain landscape surrounded by stylized lily flowers in pink and a nearby waterfall that opens into a larger pool. Located high up in the clouds above is Tsongkhapa accompanied by Gyaltsab and Khedrup Jey, while located at the foreground are the Buddhist protector deities Mahakala, Yama Dharmaraja, and Vaishravana, indicating this painting's association with the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. See another painting of four arhats with a closely related use of landscape, architecture, and unique rendering of flowers (HAR 13649), sold at Sotheby's, New York, 23 March 2019, lot 1651.
