A THANGKA OF TSONGKHAPA, 18TH CENTURY, GELUG SCHOOL
十八世紀格魯派宗喀巴唐卡
Sold for €4,550
including Buyer's Premium
Distemper and gold on cloth. Seated in dhyanasana atop a lotus throne, his left hand holding a vessel and the right holding a lotus stem coming to full bloom at the shoulders supporting the sword and sutra. He is wearing characteristic monk’s robes and cap. The background with scenes from Tsongkhapa’s life story with identifying inscriptions, the reverse with an inscription as well.
Provenance: From a Swiss private collection.
Condition: Very good condition with old wear, soiling, creasing, small tears to edges, and few minor losses. Possibly very minor touch-ups.
Dimensions: Size 68 x 48 cm
The founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, Je Tsongkhapa (1357-1419), appears at the center of the composition surrounded by vignettes from his life story with minuscule and neatly painted identifying inscriptions. This thangka comes from a series of 15 thangkas telling the story of Tsongkhapa’s life, the present example being the fifth in the series, showing various places where he taught, wrote, or received teachings from other masters.
Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related thangka of Tsongkhapa at Sotheby’s New York in Indian & Southeast Asian Works of Art on 19 March 2014, lot 79, sold for USD 21,250. Compare a closely related thangka of Tsongkhapa, dated 19th century, at Bonhams San Francisco in Fine Asian Works of Art on 27 June 2017, lot 8013, sold for USD 31,250.
