Description

A SOAPSTONE FIGURE OF A LUOHAN WITH A BUDDHIST LION, 18TH CENTURY China. Seated with his right knee raised, wearing long flowing robes with finely incised hems, holding a flywhisk (fuchen) in his right hand, beside him a majestic lion, his left hand holding one strand of the lion's mane. The facial features, beard, and hair finely incised and picked out in black pigment, the hems painted in gilt and deep green. The base fitted and carved as a craggy rock with pierced holes. The figure of an attractive honey-brown tone, the stand of elegant burgundy red color with white and gray veining.

Provenance: From the collection of Gerard Hawthorn, London, United Kingdom. In 1963, Gerard Hawthorn joined Sydney L. Moss Ltd. He later became an independent art dealer, assisting the world's leading collectors and museums in acquiring rare Chinese antiques. Additionally, he formed his own collection of Chinese art, especially bamboo and Yixing wares. Gerard Hawthorn is also the author of the catalog series 'Oriental Works of Art', which features fine works of art from China, Japan, and Korea.
Condition: Very good condition with some old wear, mostly to gilt and pigment, few light surface scratches and minor nicks here and there. The left hand of the luohan and the head of the lion with minuscule old fills. Fine naturally grown patina with an unctuous feel overall.

Weight: 418.2 g
