Subject:#3 - Desperately Seeking Information
Posted By: Mary Sat, Jun 14, 2008 IP: 70.186.167.203 I recently purchased 3 prints, all signed by (Wong?) and are numbered i.e., 299/400. They are magnificant! I have spent countless hours trying to research them, but am at a lost. Any information on origin, meaning, artist would be greatly appreciated. (They do have a Taylor Clark Gallery Sticker on the back side and have been professionally matted and framed.)

Subject:#3 - Desperately Seeking Information
Posted By: James Wilson Wed, Jul 09, 2008 If I am not mistaken, I believe the figure depicted in the painting is Quan Yin (also known as Guan Yin and Kwan Yin, the "Goddess of Mercy". Sitting in what is known as the "royal ease" position. While the figure looks to be male, I should mention that Quan Yin is depicted in both male and female forms. The deity is also very often depicted androgynously as neither (or both) male of female in appearance. I hope this helps.
