Description

A FINE BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA, AYUTTHAYA KINGDOM, 16TH-17TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Thailand. Finely cast standing in samabhanga atop a square base with both hands extended in abhaya mudra. The figure wears a diaphanous sanghati draping elegantly from his arms, tied at the waist by a sash. His serene face finely modeled with full lips forming a gentle smile and heavy-lidded downcast eyes inlaid with mother-of-pearl as well as black-lacquer pupils, flanked by long pendulous lobes. The hair is arranged in tight curls, centered by a teardrop-shaped emblem over the domed ushnisha surmounted by a flame finial.

Provenance: Galerie Hardt (established in 1976), Radevormwald, Germany, before 2020. Acquired by the gallery’s founder Peter Hardt (b. 1946) during his extensive travels in Asia, the first of which occurred during a formative world tour in 1973. Throughout his storied career, Peter Kienzle-Hardt organized countless exhibitions and participated in major international art fairs. He made many important contacts during this time and eventually met the Kienzle siblings, who shared his passion for Asian art and culture. A strong bond and deep friendship developed, ultimately leading to the creation of the Museum für Asiatische Kunst decades later in 2014. While the museum’s permanent exhibition predominantly comprised pieces from the Kienzle Family Collection, Peter Kienzle-Hardt supplemented it with objects from his own collection. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.

Weight: 17.5 kg (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 75.7 cm (excl. stand), 110.6 cm (incl. stand)

Mounted on an associated stand. (2)

During the 14th through 16th centuries, Thailand's Ayutthaya kingdom became one of the most powerful forces on mainland Southeast Asia. Continuing the artistic trajectory set forth under the Sukhothai, the Theravada polity sponsored the production of Buddha images fashioned in a new distinct style. The faces display a curvilinear contour with the hairline lower towards the sinuous browline accentuated by elongated ears flared at upper and lower tips. The eyes, extending evenly across the width of the face, are three-quarters closed to endow the figure with a sense of serenity that is at once inwardly directed and also engaged with the world.
