I love this thangka so much, and can still not believe that (at the time of writing) no one has bought it. It's of the Buddhist Bodhsattva Lokeswara (better known in the form of Avalokiteswara, having a thousand eyes and arms). The composition is perfect, and very unusual in thangka given that it's off centre. I love the contrast between Lokeswara's peace and the fierceness of the dragon.
