A LIMESTONE TORSO OF BUDDHA, NORTHERN QI DYNASTY
北齊石灰石立佛殘件
Sold for €13,904
including Buyer's Premium
China, 550-577. Finely carved standing with the right hand raised and the left arm lowered along the side of the body, wearing a diaphanous robe delicately carved with drapes falling fluently following the contours of the body.
Provenance: From the Roger Moss Collection. Roger Moss, OBE (1936-2020) grew up in Yorkshire and was a lifelong collector of art, best known for his collection of Chinese sculpture dating to the Tang dynasty and earlier. He was a Finance Director at British Airways when the Concorde was launched, then became the CFO of MTR in Hong Kong. During this time he also served as the president of the Oriental Ceramic Society.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, losses, signs of weathering and erosion, nicks and scratches, few structural cracks, encrustations.
Dimensions: Height 71 cm (excl. stand) and 78.5 cm (incl. stand)
Mounted on an associated stand. (2)
Expert’s note: The sensitivity of carving, the soft garments closely clinging to the body, the crisp treatment of the gracefully draped folds clearly relate this figure to the Northern Qi period.
Literature comparison: Compare a closely related example illustrated in The Art of Contemplation, Religious Sculpture from Private Collection, National Palace Museum, Taipei 1997, pl. 27. See also the two figures of similar sizes illustrated in Ancient Chinese Sculpture II, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan 2000, pl. 20 and 21.
Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related limestone torso of Buddha, 101 cm high, also dated to the Northern Qi dynasty, at Christie’s London, 12 September 2007, lot 164, sold for GBP 24,500.
