Footnote
The present thangka seems to be a less elaborate rendition compared to a thangka of the Qianlong Emperor as Manjusri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, made by the Imperial workshop, with face by Giuseppe Castiglione (Lang Shining, 1688–1766), Qing dynasty, Qianlong period, in the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution, accession no. F2000.4. Also see another similar thangka, previously in the Qing Court collection, now in the Palace Museum, Beijing, accession no. gu 故00006485.
此唐卡相較於一幅由清宮造辦處製作之乾隆皇帝佛裝像唐卡，顯得較為簡略。該作品之面部由郎世寧繪製，現藏於史密森尼學會弗利爾美術館，藏品編號「F2000.4」。另可參一幅近似唐卡，清宮舊藏，現藏於北京故宮博物院，館藏號「故00006485」。
