拍品专文

Siddhartha Gautama is the founder of Buddhism, who blesses and protects the pure in heart. Also known as Sakyamuni, he is an embodiment of love, purity and sincere honesty. The figure of Siddhartha (Lot 131) assumes a sitting position, holding a child and a stalk of lotus in hand. According to Li Chen, the child in Siddhartha's hand represents the self in every viewer. After all, everyone used to be a child.
