介绍（中）	在密教中，佛陀被理解为是从律法中诞生的，因此被视为佛母。这幅图像描绘了观音（梵语：Avalokiteshvara）作为佛母的密教表现，佛母是一个拥有多只手臂和第三只"通灵"眼睛的神。然而，在陈洪寿的解读中，佛母并不是作为一个可怕的圣经化身出现的，而是作为一个迷人的年轻女人出现的。她那不羁的发型和把几缕头发夹在嘴里的非传统姿势可能源于当代流行戏剧中的女主人公，而不是佛教图像这个陈洪寿早期人物风格的大型例子是对他早期画册绘画和木版画中小型人物的罕见补充。在这种放大的尺度上，陈洪寿的技巧和独特的风格来源变得显而易见。他轻松流畅的窗帘线条并没有遵循文人模特严格的笔法，而是来源于流行的绘画和木版画。
介绍（英）	In Esoteric Buddhism, the Buddha is understood as having been born of the Law, which is regarded, therefore, as the Buddha Mother. This image depicts the Esoteric manifestation of Guanyin (Avalokiteshvara, in Sanskrit) as the Buddha Mother, a deity with multiple arms and a third "all-seeing" eye. In Chen Hongshou's interpretation, however, the Buddha Mother does not appear as a formidable incarnation of scripture but as a winsome young woman. Her unruly hairdo and the unconventional gesture of clutching strands of hair in her mouth may derive from heroines of contemporary popular theater rather than Buddhist iconography. This large-scale example of Chen Hongshou's early figure style is a rare complement to the small-scale figures in his early album paintings and woodblock prints. At this enlarged scale, Chen Hongshou's technique and idiosyncratic stylistic sources become readily apparent. His relaxed and fluid drapery lines do not follow the disciplined brush mannerisms of literati models but instead are derived from popular paintings and woodblock prints.
