拍品描述: Description A MEISSEN FIGURE OF A SABLE, CIRCA 1735 modelled by Johann Joachim K?ndler for the Japanese Palace, Dresden, its fur painted with brown markings, perched on a high stump molded with flowers and grasses and applied red mushrooms, the stump applied with turquoise leaves height 15 7/8 in. 40.4 cm Provenance Royal Collections of Saxony, Japanese Palace, Dresden Left the Royal Collection, Dresden, before 1900 Christie's New York, 23 April, 1998, lot 222 Notes The figure model of a Sable, ‘ indianische Zoble’, is recorded in K?ndler’s work report or Taxa in July 1734: ‘Specification of the foreign animals and exotic birds which… I, as named below, modeled and drew exactly and correctly, so that they… may here at the Royal Porcelain Factory be done large… In the Kunstkammer, from the stuffed animals, I made models of… a sable, J.J. K?ndler’, ( Die Arbeitsberichte, Des Meissener Porzellanmodelleurs Johann Joachim Kaendler, 1706-1775, Leipzig 2002, p. 25). His work report for April 1735 includes: “ Einein Indianischen Zobel Ebenfalls in Lebens Gr??e ist vorgestellet wie er auf einem Stock sitze welcher mit ?sten und Bl?ttern bewachsen ist, Johann Joachim K?ndler”, [ Likewise, an Indian sable has been done life-size, sitting on a tree-stump which is overgrown with branches and leaves, Johann Joachim K?ndler] (Samuel Wittwer, The Gallery of Meissen Animals, Augustus the Strong's Menagerie for the Japanese Palace in Dresden, Munich?2006, p. 320). K?ndler studied animals from life but also the stuffed specimens in the Royal taxidermy collection at the Palast der Wissenschaften [Palaces of the Sciences] at the Zwinger. One 18 th century viewer had said of the collection “One would be hard put to find such a complete collection, or one with so many rare animals… The gallery is ninety-five ells long and houses three rows of four-footed animals, almost all of which passed a portion of their lives at the J?gerhof in Dresden.” (Wittwer, ibid, 2006, p. 66). According to Wittwer, only six Sables, all decorated in enamels, were delivered to the Japanese Palace, two in July 1735 and four in September of the same year. The six figures were recorded in the Japanese Palace on March 9, 1736, though in the inventories of 1770 and 1779 only three were listed, under the inventory number N=307-W: ‘ Drey Stück Zobel, auf Postamenten sizend, so mit Laub, bunten Blümgen und andern Zierathen belegt sind, 17 Zoll hoch. No. 307‘; [Three sables sitting on bases sprigged with foliage, polychrome florets and other ornament, 17 inches high. No. 307.] SKD Inventare, Nr. 327, 1779, Bd. II. S?chsisch Porcellain, welches durchg?ngig mit dem Buchstaben W. bezeichnet, a) Aufs?ze, Bouteillen, Becher, Figuren und Docken, fol. 19rf: Today only one example remains in the Porzellansammlung,?Dresden, exhibited at Schloss Moritzburg, Moritzburg, illustrated in Samuel Wittwer, ibid, 2006, pp. 129, 320-21, fig. 136 (fig. 1). By 1900 the three Sables listed in the 1779 inventory were still in the Dresden Royal Collection. One of these was included in the first sale of ‘duplicate’ animals, bird figures and wares auctioned at Rudolph Lepke’s Kunst-Auctions-Haus, Berlin, 7-8 October, 1919 (lot 97) (fig. 2). It achieved the second highest price of the sale and was purchased by the dealer [Max] Cramer of Kassel for the high price of 161,000 Mark (over $70,000 in today’s value). It was outsold only by lot 98, a large figure of a Vulture (for 178,000 Mark). Perhaps surprisingly, the Sable outsold the much larger white animal figures, such as lots 82-83, a pair of white Meissen figures of Lion and Lioness (95,000 Mark, which subsequently entered the Ole Olsen Collection, Copenhagen, later sold at Sotheby’s London, 15 November, 1955, lot 65); lots 89-90, two white Meissen eagles (71,000 Mark); and lots 92-93, a pair of white Meissen figures of goats (131,000 Mark).? The prices and successful bidders were recorded in the report by Adolph Donath in Die jungsten Preise für Mei?ener Porzellan. Der Kunst-wandere, October 1919, second issue, pp. 69-72. The third Sable disappeared from the Dresden porcelain collection during World War II and is illustrated in Carl Albiker, Die Meissener Porzellantiere im 18 Jahrhundert, Berlin, 1935,?pl. XXXIX, abb. 170, and Albiker, 1959 edition, taf. 14, its current whereabouts now unknown (fig. 3). The present lot therefore?is the fourth example of this model which has survived into the 20 th century. At the time of his publication Wittwer cites an example in a private collection in Munich (p. 320), which could possibly represent a 5 th. The early provenance of the present lot is unknown, but as there were only three figures listed in the palace inventories, all accounted for, it is probable?that it left the Japanese Palace Collection before the first inventory was taken in 1770. Sotheby's would like to thank Dr. Julia Weber and Anette Loesch for their kind assistance in the cataloguing of this lot. Sotheby's Scientific Research department used noninvasive XRF for this lot to screen the green?enamel?for chromium, which was not detected.

Endangered Species
Certain property sold at auction, for example, items made of or incorporating plant or animal materials such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, tortoiseshell, rhinoceros horn etc., irrespective of age or value, may require a license or certificate prior to exportation and additional licenses or certificates upon importation to another country. Sotheby's suggests that buyers check on their government wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is the purchaser's responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation. In the case of denial of any export or import license or of delay in the obtaining of such licenses, the purchaser is still responsible for making on-time payment of the total purchase price for the lot.

Although licenses can be obtained to export some types of endangered species, other types may not be exported at all, and other types may not be resold in the United States. Upon request, Sotheby's is willing to assist the purchaser in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates. However, there is no assurance that an export license or certificate can be obtained. Please check with the specialist department or the Shipping Department if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to these export/import license and certificate requirements, or any other restrictions on exportation.
