Description

A LARGE WOOD FIGURE OF A LION, SOUTH INDIA, PROBABLY TAMIL NADU, 19TH-20TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Skillfully carved, standing foursquare in a dynamic stance atop a rectangular plinth with a foliate border. The large body of the animal extending into a bushy tail and a thick mane that frames its raised head, holding a fierce expression marked by a prominent brow, bulging eyes, and a protruding snout with incised whiskers and open jaws revealing sharp fangs and a boldly carved tongue.

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-Hardtorganized 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.
Condition: Good condition overall with extensive wear, manufacturing irregularities, and natural imperfections, including small chips, fissures, and age cracks. The head and legs of the animal exhibiting signs of restoration. The base with old remnants of green pigments.

Dimensions: Length 118 cm, Height 74.5 cm
