Guanyin Riding the Dragon | Harada Naojirō | 1890

The painting "Guanyin Riding the Dragon" by Harada Naojirō, created around 1890, depicts Guanyin, the East Asian bodhisattva of compassion, majestically riding atop a green dragon. Guanyin is portrayed in a serene, composed manner, dressed in flowing white robes with golden accents, and adorned with a delicate crown. She holds a sacred vessel gently in her hands, symbolizing her role as a dispenser of mercy and protector. The dragon, rendered with vibrant green scales and an animated expression, symbolizes power and the elemental force of water. The backdrop features a stormy sea and a tumultuous sky, enhancing the dramatic interaction between the divine figure and the mythical creature. The artwork combines elements of spirituality, mythology, and natural forces, encapsulating themes common in East Asian religious art.
