拍品描述
A FINE WOOD NETSUKE OF A SKELETON WITH LOTUS AND SKULL

Unsigned
Japan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

An eerily captivating wood netsuke depicting a skeleton kneeling behind a large skull and holding a lotus stalk with bud. Natural himotoshi through the arms and legs.

HEIGHT 4.1 cm

Condition: Good condition with minor wear, a thin crack to the neck and shoulders.
Provenance: From the private collection of Alan and Simone Hartman, New York. Alan Hartman (1930-2023) was an influential American art dealer, who took over his parents’ antique business in Manhattan and established the legendary Rare Art Gallery on Madison Avenue, with further locations in Dallas and Palm Beach. His wife Simone (née Horowitz) already served as assistant manager of the New York gallery before the couple were married in 1975, and together they built a renowned collection for over half a century and became noted art patrons, enriching the collections of important museums including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (which opened the Alan and Simone Hartman Galleries in 2013) as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Brooklyn Museum in New York.

In Buddhist symbolism, the lotus represents purity of the body, speech and mind. Together with a skull it represents the Buddhist philosophy of the impermanence of life, which can be summarized as ‘Memento Mori’ (latin for 'remember that you die').
