The Moon Through a Crumbling Window - Handsome portrait of Daruma, the father of Zen Buddhism in Japan. He is shown meditating in the ruins of a stone house, seen through a window formed by the crumbling stone wall. Sitting in quiet contemplation, he is draped in a simple red robe, the pigment beautifully oxidized to a warmer brown. Vines trail over the stones, and a full yellow moon is viewed through the window of another broken wall. A wonderful design with a lovely composition, detailed with soft shading in the sky.
