English : The Scroll of Eighty-Seven Immortals, drawn by an unknown painter, measuring 30cm high and 292cm wide, is a line-drawing Chinese figure painting. Drawn on a long silk scroll with lines, the painting depicts 87 taoist immortals, including three supreme gods with halo, ten divine generals, seven deities and 67 celestial maidens marching from the right to the left on the bridge. The painting manifests the momentum of the glorious age of Tang Dynasty and was regarded by Xu Beihong as a work of Wu Daozi. Xie Zhiliu ang Chang Dai-chien thought that the painting style of the scroll was simlilar to that in Dung Huang frescoes of later Tang Dynasty and attributed it to Later Tang Dynasty (923–937), while a noted painting and calligraphy connoisseur, Xu Bangda ,thought it should be drawn by a Southern Song dynasty (1127–1279) painter.
