Description

A MUGHAL RED SANDSTONE PANEL, 18TH-19TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Northern India. Finely carved with a crown-like domed roof composed of rich vegetal elements rising from a horizontal base pierced with stylized flowerheads. A frieze of petals anchors the lower register, from which the composition ascends into curving leaf forms that arch outward and terminate in spiral curls, surmounted by a lotus bud 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.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and natural imperfections. Obvious losses, signs of weathering and erosion, remnants of pigment predominately to the lower area, minor chips, light surface scratches. The stone with a fine, naturally grown, smooth patina.

Weight: 27.7 kg (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 40 cm (incl. stand)

Mounted on an associated stand. (2)

This beautiful panel displays the Mughal fascination with naturalistic designs. Equally, the fluidity of the work demonstrates the strength of the Indian stone carving tradition. Stone wall panels ornamented with natural motifs decorated the walls of many Mughal architectural monuments. The Mughals delighted in observing nature, which resulted in the representation of flora and fauna in many different mediums. The red sandstone is typical of the Mathura, Sikri, and Chunar regions of northern India.
