AN INSCRIBED WHITE JADE PLAQUE DEPICTING A LADY PLAYING THE PIPA, 18TH CENTURY

China. Of oval form, finely carved to one side in low relief with a court lady seated on a rock playing the pipa, wearing long flowing robes, the neatly incised hair arranged in a double topknot, the rim carved with a pearl border. The smoothly polished, translucent stone of an even white hue. The top with a small aperture suspending a string.

Inscriptions: To the reverse, ‘When the ladies rejoice, they play the pipa and spread its sound’.

Provenance
: From the private collection of Alan and Simone Hartman, New York. An old label from the Hartmans inscribed with Alan Hartman’s dating for the present lot, ‘XVIII C’, along with further abbreviated notes, is attached by a string to the present lot. 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 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. Alan Hartman has been described as the greatest antiques dealer of our generation, and was widely recognized as a world authority in Chinese jade, bronzes, and Asian works of art.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and minuscule nibbling.
