拍品描述
A RARE, LARGE AND VERY HEAVY BRONZE FIGURE OF VISHNU, VIJAYANAGARA EMPIRE, 1336-1646, OR EARLIER
South India. Heavily cast, standing in samabhanga atop a circular plinth, clad in a loincloth, his four arms held around him, the face with large and neatly incised almond-shaped eyes, pierced ears, full lips, and a prominent chin, the head surmounted by a conical headdress topped with a bud-form finial, a small lotus halo on the back, the bronze with a rich deep brown patina overall.

Provenance: Property from an Asian collection, acquired in the 1990s. Christie’s Amsterdam, 21 November 2001, lot 41 (described as Vijayanagar, 14th/15th century, probably Rama). Christie’s New York, 21 March 2008, lot 761 (described as a four-armed deity, South India, 16th century), sold for USD 39,400 or approx. EUR 52,000 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing).
Condition: Very good condition with expected old wear, small nicks and light scratches, minor losses. Superb, naturally grown patina with areas of malachite encrustation overall. Displaying remarkably well.

Weight: 8,195 g
Dimensions: Height 42.5 cm

This is a remarkable bronze for which there is no direct comparison. The arms and hands combine to form a striking sense of movement, cleverly balanced against the high cylindrical headdress pronouncing the vertical axis.
