此唐卡為棉布質地,礦物色描繪,原配漢式錦裱,繪工極為精細,華貴,著色優雅至極,書畫以山巒為背景,以之字形營帳式構圖詳細的描繪了米拉日巴尊者一生事跡,為清代藏地唐卡中之極品。噶舉派上師米拉日巴(1040-1123)不僅被稱為大成就者,也因其豐富而優美的詩篇聞名遐邇,其作品有『十萬詩篇』之譽,可謂藏地最受尊崇的聖賢之一。類似風格可參閱美國紐約市Rubin Museum of Art(魯賓博物館)David Jackson所著Patron and Painter: Situ Panchen and the Revival of the Encampment Style (Masterworks of Tibetan Painting), 6.22.
