Avalokiteshvara is the Bodhisattva of compassion, known in Tibetan as Chenrezig. This selection brings together three individual miniature paintings, allowing you to compare the figure through different compositions and colour treatments. TG-010 and TG-017 are recorded as four-armed Avalokiteshvara works; TG-023 presents Avalokiteshvara in a gold-ground composition. Their individual titles and photographs help you distinguish the forms rather than assuming every painting shows the same arrangement.
Start with the hands and the setting
Look first at the face, posture and placement of the hands. Then move outward to the halo, lotus seat and surrounding ornament. In a small painting, those relationships shape the entire image: a bright field, a floral passage or a quiet area of gold can create a different emphasis. Our four-armed Avalokiteshvara guide gives a closer introduction to that particular form, while the wider reading guide explains how to move through a thangka composition.
Compare treatment, scale and frame
All these miniatures have a 4 × 5 cm painted canvas, with the finished setting shown in their own photographs. Use the enlarged front image for the painted details, then compare the frame and setting in the available views. For a broader comparison, explore the gold-ground and polychrome collections, or turn to the Manjushri selection for a different Bodhisattva subject. The actual work page keeps the materials, dimensions, price and availability together before you make your choice.
The painted canvas is 4 × 5 cm. This is the image size, not the outer frame. Each product page presents photographs of the individual work; contact us with its reference if you need the outer measurements for a particular display or fit.
Can I wear the miniature thangka?＋
A cord is included with each piece, so it can be worn or kept as a small collected painting. Compare the frame and hanging attachment in the available photographs before choosing. Keep the painted work dry, avoid impact and follow the care guide for storage and handling.
How do I buy a particular work?＋
Open the work to see its current price and availability, then add that piece to your shopping bag. Each listing identifies an individual object rather than a made-to-order design. The buying guide explains payment, delivery and returns; you can also ask us about the work by reference before ordering.
