They were among the first to show the Buddha with a placid and introspective expression, thick wavy hair, and clothed in a heavy, toga-like monk’s robe. They retained the local preference for soft volumetric forms of the body, noticeable beneath the garment as it pulls and hangs in naturalistic pleat lines over the figure. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS Ingholt, Harold, and Islay Lyons.
