The present painting is from a larger set of twenty-three paintings depicting
the hundred and eight avadana stories preached by Buddha Shakyamuni to
demonstrate the consequences of a person’s deeds in a previous life. The
present work follows closely the style established by Situ Panchen Chokyi
Jungne (1700-1774) at Palpung Monastery in 1733. The Situ Panchen style
of avadana paintings illustrated the various stories as small vignettes within
an open and uncrowded landscape. Numerous sets were painted after the
original set of compositions designed by Situ Panchen, and a nearly complete
set, formerly in the Jucker Collection, is illustrated by H. Kreijger in Tibetan
Painting The Jucker Collection, London, 2001, p. 36. The composition of the
present painting corresponds closely to the relevant example in the Jucker
Collection, illustrated on Himalayan Art Resources, item no. 89112 and to
another painting from a different set illustrated on Himalayan Art Resources,
item no. 93679.
