The painting represents four of the sixteen indian "arhats", disciples of the Buddha Sâkyamuni who continue the teachings of the master. Here they are shown together, with attendants, in a Chinese-style landscape. From top to bottom one can identify Vajriputra, followed by Kanakavasta and Bhadra and, finally, seated on a throne, Kanaka Bharadvaja accompanied by a scribe.
