A THANGKA OF GREEN TARA, 18TH CENTURY
十八世紀綠度母唐卡
Sold for €3,286
including Buyer's Premium
Tibet. Distemper and gold on cloth. Depicting Green Tara seated in rajalalitasana on a white lotus with a gilt aureole, wearing richly decorated robes and billowing scarves, holding peony stems coming to full bloom at her shoulders, the face with a serene expression, the hair arranged in a high chignon with a foliate headdress and small image of Buddha Amitabha. Tara is surrounded by seven smaller Green Taras, each near a distinct symbol of the Eight Great Fears.
Inscriptions: To the reverse, ‘Om Ah Hum’.
Provenance: From a private collection in Los Angeles, California, USA.
Condition: Good condition with old wear, some creasing, minor soiling, small losses, possibly very minor touchups.
Dimensions: Image size 65.5 x 47 cm, Size incl. mounting 128 x 89 cm (pole length)
With a fine silk brocade frame and mounted as a hanging scroll.
The Eight Fears are described as fire, water, lions, elephants, snakes, chains or false imprisonment, demons or ghosts, and thieves. These are often depicted literally in painting and represent very real fears of the day, inner meanings related to ego and emotions, and deeper secret meanings representing specific tantric philosophies.
Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related Tibetan thangka of Green Tara, also dated to the 18th century and depicting the Eight Fears, at Christie’s New York in Indian and Southeast Asian Art on 18 September 2013, lot 265, sold for USD 15,000.
