This depicts the Happy Buddha. The actual title in Chinese is "Zhao Cai Jin Bao", which literally means "Bringing Money and Treasures". It's a good luck title that suggests this painting will bring such treasues to you.
The smaller characters written on this scroll go on to suggest that a big belly can tolerate all intolerable things in the world. And a second line suggests that a smiling face is best used to make all the good people in the world to laugh with you.
This is a very detailed painting that is mounted to a silk wall scroll. A lot of work went into this. It actually takes the artist almost a full day to complete.
You won't be disappointed if you become the owner of this work of art. I guarantee it personally or your money back.
