290
Ɏ A RED-LACQUERED WOOD FIGURE OF BUDDHA, LATE MING DYNASTY
明末紅漆木雕坐佛
Sold for €780
including Buyer's Premium
China, 16th-17th century. Carved from hardwood, probably Zitan. Seated in dhyanasana with the hands folded in dhyana mudra and his head bowed slightly creating wrinkles beneath the neck, wearing robes that elegantly drape over the shoulders and fold along the resting arms, the serene face with heavy-lidded eyes below gently arched brows, and pursed bow-shaped lips, the hair arranged in tight curls over the ushnisha.
Provenance: A private collection in Vienna, Austria. Galerie Zacke, Vienna, 1996. Collection of Maria and Johannes Nickl, acquired from the above and thence by descent in the same family. A copy of the original invoice from Galerie Zacke, dated 30 October 1996, addressed to the Nickls, and stating a purchase price for the present lot of ATS 7,000 (or approx. EUR 900 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot. Maria (1926-2022) and Johannes Nickl (d. 2020) lived in Vienna, Austria, and were ardent collectors of Asian, Buddhist, and Egyptian works of art. They were highly active in Vienna’s tightknit Asian art trade and assembled most of their collection during the 1980s and 1990s, frequently buying from Galerie Zacke and later Galerie Asboth. The couple were also noted museum patrons and their names are still found on the Ehrentafel (‘Roll of Honor’) of the Egyptian and Near Eastern Collection at the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien (Museum of Fine Arts Vienna) today.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear, small chips, losses, light scratches, remnants of gilt, minor signs of weathering, few expected age cracks. The lacquer commensurate with age and with several layers which have been renewed over a long period of time.
