John La Farge (American, 1835 - 1910), The Great Statue of Amida Buddha at Kamakura, Known as the Daibutsu, from the Priest's Garden, 1887, watercolor and gouache on off-white wove paper, 19¼ × 12½ in. (48.9 x 31.8 cm); Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (not on view).

"On a trip to Japan with Henry Adams in 1886, La Farge enlisted watercolor - the familiar medium of the traveling artist - to create studies for illustrations and to paint sheets for exhibition. He executed this bold and monumental composition after his return to New York, using a watercolor sketch done during his travels as well as photographs that he and Adams had taken. The Daibutsu, or Great Buddha, a fifty-foot-high bronze cast in 1252, is renowned for its colossal size, its peaceful demeanor, and its unusual site in the open air surrounded by mountains and trees."
