A RARE ‘LADY PLAYING THE QIN’ BLUE AND WHITE PORCELAIN TRAY, 18TH-19TH CENTURY
十八至十九世紀罕見青花仕女彈琴托盤
Sold for €780
including Buyer's Premium
China, 1700-1850. Of rectangular form, finely painted in shades of cobalt blue to the interior with a lady dressed in voluminous robes playing the qin, her hair arranged in an elaborate coiffure, the interior sides with a double line border, the exterior with a wide key-fret band, covered overall in a transparent glaze, save for two unglazed concentric rectangular foot rims.
Provenance: English trade.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and firing irregularities, and light surface scratches.
Weight: 697.2 g
Dimensions: Length 23.2 cm
The subject of a Manchu court lady playing a qin evokes culture, taste, refinement, and scholarly accomplishment – all characteristics male scholars would also strive to possess. The present depiction is quite unusual in that it portrays the lady from behind, making this a rare variation of a popular subject.
