拍品描述
China. Seated with his left knee raised supporting his left elbow, the face with a deeply creased forehead and downcast eyes, clasping a rosary in his right hand as he meditates, and dressed in loose robes falling gracefully in voluminous folds, with neatly incised hems, and opening at the chest to reveal his chest with meticulously detailed ribcage. The bald head detailed with minute stipples evoking hair. The stone is of a pale caramel color with orange hues, red blushes, and opaque cream areas.Provenance: Private collection, United Kingdom, inherited from the owner's grandparents, who are said to have purchased the present lot from John Sparks, London. Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, few tiny nibbles, minuscule chips along the edges, and remnants of wax to the underside. The stone with natural fissures, some of which have developed into thin hairline cracks.Weight: 137.1 g Dimensions: Height 6.8 cm'Furong' stone was first excavated from Furong mountain in the late Ming to early Qing dynasty. It is smooth and glossy, and traditionally compared by collectors to the finest nephrite.Expert's note: Finely carved soapstone figures of luohans in the collection of Sir Hans Sloane were bequeathed to the British Museum upon his death in 1753, with one acquired prior to 1718, illustrating that fine soapstone carvings of this type were in wide circulation by the first half of the 18th century. Three of these fourteen figures are illustrated by Roger Soame Jenyns and William Watson, Chinese Art III, London, 1981, p. 209. fig. 182.Literature comparison:For other examples of emaciated luohans, see a marble sculpture dated to the Jin dynasty and a nephrite jade figure dated to the Qing dynasty, both in the collection of the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, object numbers B60S208 and B60J234, respectively; a bamboo group dated to the 18th century at Sotheby's New York, 19-20 March 2007, lot 708; and a silver-inlaid bronze figure dated to the 17th century at Christie's New York, 24 September 2020, lot 912.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Christie's New York, 24 March 2023, lot 1282 Price: USD 126,000 or approx.
