這尊羅漢像選取上等田黃石雕琢而成,石材通身嬌黃瑩潤,色澤統一而質感凝結油潤,瑩潤若脂玉,醇厚自然。羅漢神形並茂,極見制者功力。作者在雕刻的處理上,依型而雕,羅漢側臥而坐,寬鼻大眼,慈眉善目,大耳垂肩,耳環飽滿,羅漢怡然自得,寬衣當風,一只小螭虎則趴在羅漢身前,溫順可愛,頗具閑情雅趣的凡人之韻,將神仙世俗化,更能貼近人意。整件造像運刀流暢犀利,衣帶飄逸極富動感,在色彩上給於了嬌嫩鮮黃的田黃一絲色彩的調皮和變化,十分自然。這件作品即要將碩大的田黃雕刻出韻味和意境來,又要竟可能少的去損耗因雕刻而減少的重量,無論在選材,選料,構思,色彩上無比展現雕刻大師的常年積累的深厚底蘊,極為難得。田黃石稀罕珍貴,然此伏虎羅漢毫不吝材,以求造型之美態,實令人嘆為觀止。此田黃石呈純正的黃色,表面一層古樸的包漿,內裏蘿蔔絲紋隱現,石質致密通靈,溫潤細膩,如脂似玉,質感絕佳,彌足珍貴。來源:洛杉磯家族遞藏,1990年前購於香港
