财神图

In crimson robes the God of Wealth advances with a jade ruyi, a child attendant bearing a gold ingot as three bats sweep in from the left, filling the sheet with auspicious red-and-gold radiance.

Rendered as a New Year picture with meticulous linework, the drawing is crisp and the colors full; red, gold, and green set off brocaded motifs and a gemlike sheen. The towering deity forms the axis, ruyi in hand, while dragon roundels, cloud scrolls, and the robe’s border of river‑cliffs and sea‑waves build a solemn rhythm. At left, the boy lifts a tray with ingot and coral; fluttering streamers and three bats in flight create lively movement against purposeful blank space. The mood is festive yet dignified, layers of auspicious emblems crystallizing into a bright seasonal blessing.
