Description

A SMALL BRONZE FIGURE OF AN ADORANT, LATE TANG TO SONG DYNASTY

China, 9th-11th century. Boldly cast, the figure standing firmly on closely set legs, clad in loose-fitting robes with flowing folds and wide sleeves that drape from his uplifted arms, the hands held together against his chest in a gesture of prayer. The schematically rendered face marked by almond-shaped eyes, a flattened nose, and full lips forming a serene smile. The head adorned with a distinctive headdress with pendant side flaps and a pointed finial.

Provenance: French private collection, 2015. Collection of Dr. Koos de Jong, acquired from the above. A Dutch art historian and collector, Dr. Koos de Jong has worked across several cultural institutions in the Netherlands from 1976, serving as the director of the European Ceramic Work Center in Den Bosch between 1999-2009, before retiring in 2009. He has authored hundreds of articles and several books on Dutch fine and decorative arts from the Middle Ages to the modern era. His scholarly interests expanded to Chinese material culture, culminating in the 2013 publication of Dragon & Horse: Saddle Rugs and Other Horse Tack from China and Beyond, a pioneering study on Chinese equestrian gear. Continuing this line of inquiry, his more recent book published in 2021, Small China: Early Chinese Miniatures, explores the largely overlooked world of Chinese miniature objects, combining archaeological research with art historical insight.
Condition: Good condition with old wear and casting irregularities. Traces of weathering, sparse minuscule nicks, and light scratches. The bronze covered in a dark, naturally grown patina with small areas of malachite and soil encrustations.
