拍品描述
Description A GRAY SCHIST FIGURE OF A SEATED BUDDHA, GANDHARA, 2ND-3RD CENTURY Seated in dhyanasana with his hands folded in his lap, the deeply incised folds of his sanghati flowing over his shoulders and covering his ankles, his face with downcast, almond-shaped eyes, his hair pulled over the ushnisha, the base supported by four rounded columns, the sides carved with lotus flowers and the front with an elegantly draped canopy. Provenance: Arthur Huc (1854-1932). Marcel Huc, inherited from the above. Thence by descent within the same family. In 1954, L. Magniette, bailiff of the court in Toulouse (Huissier), was ordered to compile a complete inventory of the collection inherited by Marcel Huc from his father, Arthur Huc, the so-called “Inventaire Huc”. The present lot is listed in this inventory as follows: “Un Bouddha chevelu - Haut: 61 cm - Voir carnets - Schist” (a haired Buddha - height 61 cm - see notebooks - schist). A copy of the inventory list and cover page are accompanying this lot. Arthur Huc was the chief editor of La Dépêche du Midi, at the time the leading newspaper in Toulouse, France. He was also an accomplished art critic and early patron of several artists, including Henri de Toulouse- Lautrec. At the same time, Arthur Huc was a keen collector of Asian art, a passion that he inherited from his legendary ancestor évariste Régis Huc, also known as the Abbé Huc (1813-1860), a French Catholic priest and traveler who became famous for his accounts of Qing-era China, Mongolia and especially the then-almost-unknown Tibet in his book “Remembrances of a Journey in Tartary, Tibet, and China”. Condition: Extensive weathering and wear. Few structural cracks. Some breaks, losses and erosions as visible on the images at . Remnants of an old varnish coating. Parts of the right hand were broken off and have been reattached. A crack extending from there into the right lower body shows an old filling. The nose shows an old restoration. Finally, a small exposed segment of the garment just below the left hand was also broken off and has been reattached, it also shows some old fillings. Overall the condition must still be considered good, especially give the age of the statue. French Export License: Certificat d’exportation pour un bien culturel Nr. 185422 dated 3.07.2017 has been granted and is accompanying this lot. Weight: 55 kg Dimensions: Height 62 cm (the statue) and 73 cm with the base This magnificent Buddha sits regally, the face with a benign expression and exquisitely delineated features. The folds of the robe are skillfully carved with curved, crisp lines that reveal the contours of the body, emphasizing the fullness of the chest and gentle slope of the shoulders. The throne is also far more elaborate than a simple seat. With an associated wood base. (2) Literature comparison: For another example bearing similar stylistic treatment of the Buddha’s drapery, see the Seated Buddha in W. Zwalf, A Catalogue of the Gandhara Sculpture at the British Museum, 1996, cat. no. 26.
