In this large lithograph, a figure in black marvels at the serene figures of two giant Buddha figures carved into the side of a cliff. To the left, a seated Buddha sits in front of curvilinear designs and repeated figures sitting crosslegged in a lotus pose. To the right of the larger figure is another figure, draped in robes, with a hand up — a Buddhist gesture of teaching or reassurance. Two caves dot the surface of the cliff, the edge of which is defined by sheer washes and fine lines. The transparency of the taupe ink mimics sandstone, while black shading provides delicate detail.
