拍品描述
Finely carved, the serene face with heavy-lidded almond-shaped eyes, elegantly arched brows centered by a raised circular urna, full lips, and a finely incised wavy mustache. His face is framed by an array of neatly arranged short ringlets falling across his forehead, each terminating in an exquisite tail-like twist. His wavy locks are embellished with beaded ornaments before being tied into a loose, asymmetrical topknot that drapes towards his left ear.Provenance: Collection R. M. (1933-2023), Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Belgium, acquired between 1979 and 2009, and thence to his wife Lefevre Anne Marie.Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, obvious losses, chips, nicks, scratches, structural fissures, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations.Weight: 42.4 kg (incl. stand) Dimensions: Height 49 cm (excl. stand), 60 cm (incl. stand)With a modern metal stand. (2)This distinctive sculpture depicts the head of a bodhisattva, an enlightened individual who delayed Buddhahood in order to help sentient beings. The Greco-Roman influence in Gandharan art is clearly seen in his facial features, which are both naturalistic and idealized, creating a serene, pensive expression as the bodhisattva looks down. In Gandharan art, this type of square-knot chignon is often associated with Maitreya. Although most images of Maitreya feature a neat symmetrical topknot with shorter loops, more relaxed examples like the present lot also exist, as seen in a standing figure of Maitreya at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, object number 13.96.16.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related Gandharan gray schist head of a bodhisattva dated to the 3rd century, 48.3 cm high, in the Crow Museum of Asian Art, Dallas, accession number 1982.33. Compare a closely related smaller Gandharan gray schist head of a bodhisattva, probably Maitreya, dated late 2nd-3rd century, 30.5 cm high, in the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, object number 1967.28.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Bonhams New York, 19 March 2018, lot 3078 Price: USD 275,000 or approx.
