‘CHILDREN AT PLAY’, INSCRIBED DING GUANPENG (ACTIVE 1708-1771)
China, Qing Dynasty, mid-18th – early 19th century. Ink and watercolors on silk. The work either from the hand of Ding Guanpeng himself, or one of his disciples at the palace painting academy, or a combination of both. Superbly painted with four children in a noble garden mimicking the Full Moon Ritual (manyue) by ‘washing’ a statue of the infant Buddha.

Inscriptions: Lower right, ‘Ding Guanpeng’. Dated to the 4th month of the 26th year of the Qianlong reign (corresponding to 1761). One seal of the artist.

Provenance: UK trade, by repute acquired from a British private estate.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, soiling, creasing, few minuscule losses. Mounted as a hanging scroll.

Dimensions: Image size 115.5 x 48 cm, Size incl. mounting 213.5 x 63 cm

One child is kneeling on an oval rug with hands folded in prayer, one holds a bowl of peony blossom offerings, one is pouring water from a kundika to ‘wash’ a statue of the infant Buddha, supported on an elaborate lotus base, held by another child, next to a small vase with lingzhi fungi, and all below a gnarled tree, large lingbi stones, peonies, and bamboo.

The scene and specifically the objects are painstakingly detailed, and upon closer inspection, one can discover such interesting things as a crackled turquoise glaze on the vase or a fine gilding on the infant Buddha statue. The fence in the background also shows numerous ornaments, and the various rocks and plants surrounding the children have meticulously executed minutia. One can understand the children's excitement, as we can all look in fascination at the intensity of the mimicked ceremony.

The rich details of the playthings are matched by the carefully rendered clothing and delicately drawn faces of the children. The children's finely woven silk brocades reveal their noble, if not Imperial upbringing, and their enjoyment of the event is patent in their expressions of glee and wonderment as they play with the ceremonial objects. The elaborate rock and flowering plants indicate this is a garden setting. Likely within the walls of a family compound, the location of the painting is another indication of the wealth and prestigious status to which the children belong.

Ding Guanpeng (active 1708-1771) was a Chinese painter who lived during the Qing dynasty. A native of Beijing, he was active from the later part of the Kangxi period to the mid-Qianlong period. At one point he studied oil painting under Giuseppe Castiglione. He was noted for painting people and landscapes, both in his distinct own style and by precisely copying the work of important masters such as - in the present lot - Su Hanchen. He spent about 50 years in the Palace Painting Academy and painted at least 200 major works with his own hand.

Expert’s note: The present lot is an exact copy after a work by the Song Dynasty artist Su Hanchen (active 1130s–1160s), which is currently in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. It is known that during the reign of Emperor Qianlong (1736-1795) masters from the Palace Painting Academy, such as Ding Guanpeng, were commissioned to copy a significant number of ancient works from the Imperial palace collection, predominantly for conservatory purposes, but also for a number of other reasons. Occasionally, some of the more prominent artists involved in this undertaking were allowed to sign these copies with their own names.

《童子浴佛圖》丁觀鵬(活躍於1708-1771)款
中國,清代,十八世紀中葉至十九世紀。紙本設色。這幅作品可能出自丁觀鵬本人之手,也有可能出自其他宮廷畫師之手,或是兩者合作皆可能。這幅作品畫工精細,四個孩子在貴族花園裡模仿滿月儀式,以淨瓶清洗一尊嬰兒佛像。

款識:乾隆二十六年四月臣丁觀鵬敬繪
鈐印:觀鵬

來源:英國古玩市集,據說購於英國老收藏。
品相:狀況極好,輕微磨損、汙跡、皺褶,一些微小缺損。裝裱為掛軸。

尺寸:畫面115.5 x 48 厘米,總213.5 x 63厘米。

一個孩子跪在橢圓形的地毯上,雙手合十祈禱;一個孩子拿著一碗牡丹花供品,一個孩子正從淨瓶中倒水 "清洗 "一尊嬰兒佛像。佛像立於蓮花底座上,由另一個孩子拿著,旁邊的地上立著一個裝靈芝的小花瓶。周圍有一棵參天大樹、大靈璧石、牡丹花和竹子。

此場景和周圍物件都是精心設計的,諸如花瓶上綠松石釉面開片,以及嬰兒佛像上精細的鎏金等。背景中的圍欄也有許多裝飾物,孩子們周圍的各種岩石和植物都有細緻的描繪。觀畫者可以感受孩子們的興奮,猶如身歷其境地看著這場模仿儀式。

這些道具的豐富細節與孩子們精心繪製的服裝和精緻的面孔相匹配。孩子們身著的絲綢錦緞顯示了他們高貴的地位、甚至皇室的教養。由他們在玩弄儀式物品時歡快和驚奇的表情,可看出對這件事的享受。花園中精心設計的岩石和盛開的花朵,可知這花園可能是在一個大宅邸的牆內,它的位置也表明了孩子們的出身。

丁觀鵬(活躍於1708-1771年)為清朝畫家,北京人,活躍於康熙後期至乾隆中期,他曾向郎世寧學習油畫。他以人物和風景畫聞名,既有自己獨特的風格,也能精確地模仿大師的作品,如本拍品即為仿蘇漢臣的畫作。他任職於宮廷畫院約50年,至少親手畫了200幅作品。

專家註釋:本拍品是根據宋代藝術家蘇漢臣(活躍於1130-1160年)的作品精確複製的,該作品現藏於臺北故宮博物院。乾隆時期(1736-1795)為了保存的目的和其他原因,宮廷畫院的大師們,如丁觀鵬,被委託臨摹大量皇宮收藏的古代作品。一些參與這項工作的著名藝術家,偶爾被允許在這些副本上題上自己的名字。

拍賣結果比較:比較一幅相關的丁觀鵬的畫作,見北京保利2014年12月3日「藝林藻鑒—中國古代書畫」,拍品編號3213,估價CNY 300,000-500,000 (大約為EUR 40,000-65,000)。比較一件蘇漢臣的作品,見紐約邦翰斯2013年3月20日lot 3009,售價 USD 86,500
