(2)This magnificent standing Buddha figure exemplifies the mastery when sculpture in the ancient region of Gandhara was at its most refined. The monastic raiment is draped across both shoulders with considerable back throw, hanging naturalistically in u-shaped folds that reveal the contours of the powerful body. The faithful rendering of the deeply carved folds of the garment, the face, and the ripples of the hair are particularly exquisite and are a testament to the skill of the sculptor. This masterfully carved figure embodies an idealized and transcendent male form.While activated with energy, movement and life, the Buddha is simultaneously in a state of otherworldly tranquility. In the ancient region of Gandhara, the sculptural tradition was strongly influenced by the Hellenistic style left in the wake of Alexander. Local artisans favored the principles of figural naturalism, in particular the athletic and heroic idealized body. The depiction of the Indian dhoti and sanghati, like that of the Greek chiton and himaton, presented an opportunity to reproduce voluminous folds of drapery with wondrous aplomb, as is evident in the present work.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related Gandharan schist figure of Buddha, dated 2nd-3rd century, 104.2 cm high, in the British Museum, registration number 1947,0511.1.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's New York, 16 September 2014, lot 218 Price: USD 93,750 or approx.
