拍品描述
China. Exquisitely carved in a recumbent pose with the head turned back and feet tucked underneath the body. The head is detailed with upright ears framed by a long, meticulously incised, wavy mane that falls on either side of the neck. The stone is of a pale greenish-white tone with gray and dark-brown veins and a light russet-tinged area around the neck. Provenance: From the Thornton Family Collection of Jades, Montreal, Canada, acquired in the local trade between the 1960s and 1990s. Theodosia Dawes Bond Thornton (1915-2009) assembled one of Canada's most significant private art collections, featuring works by prominent Canadian modern painters such as Lawren Harris and A.Y. Jackson, alongside an exceptional group of Chinese jades and snuff bottles. Her passion for Chinese art was sparked in the 1920s when her grandmother Rachel Dawes Bond took the family on a tour of China and began collecting scholar's objects. Many of these pieces were later passed down to Theodosia, who expanded the collection through acquisitions from Montreal's esteemed Gurie Gallery. Her close friendship with gallery owner Alex Gurevich deepened her appreciation for Chinese jades. Like her grandmother, she favored small, tactile pieces meant for contemplation and handling. In the 1990s, her daughter Joan continued the tradition, expanding the collection with larger jade carvings sourced from emerging dealers in Montreal and New York after the closure of Gurie Gallery. Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear. The stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into thin hairline cracks.Weight: 500 g Dimensions: Length 11.2 cmAuction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's London, 13 May 2011, lot 1391Price: GBP 22,500 or approx.
