拍品描述
Description:A CARVED BAMBOO FIGURE OF ZHONG KUI, MID-QING
China, 18th century. Finely carved standing atop a naturalistically carved base, dressed in a scholar's robe and cap, a small demon leaning against him and holding on to him with a quizzical expression, the demon hunter with one arm around the evil being.

Provenance: From a French private collection.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, few small natural age cracks, light scratches, and minuscule nicks. Superb, naturally grown, dark patina with an elegant luster and an unctuous feel overall.

Weight: 314.1 g
Dimensions: Height 18.5 cm

Skillfully carved in the round from the root of the bamboo, this piece depicts Zhong Kui, the legendary scholar who committed suicide on the steps of the Imperial Palace after being deprived of holding the title for passing the civil service examinations. After returning to the mortal world to save Emperor Xuanzong (685-762) from the evil spirits and ghosts plaguing his sleep, he was posthumously restored to his rightful position, and given the sobriquet 'Demon Chaser'.

Literature comparison: A larger example, also dated to the 18th century, from the Simon Kwan collection, was included in the exhibition Ming and Qing Bamboo, The Art Museum, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 2000, cat. no. 70.
