Gérard Laenen (Belgian, 1899-1980) PORTRAIT OF MAURICE COLLIS oil on canvas signed lower left Maurice Collis was born in Dublin, the son of an Irish solicitor, and went to Rugby School in 1903 and then in 1907 to the University of Oxford, where he studied history. He entered the Indian Civil Service in 1911 and was posted to Burma in 1912. He had postings at Sagaing and elsewhere. In 1917, the British army raised a Burmese brigade with which Collis went to Palestine, but he saw no action. In 1919, he went on leave and travelled in Europe. In the 1920s he was district commissioner in Arakan. In 1929-1930, a period when relations between Burmese, Indians and British became particularly difficult, he was district magistrate in Rangoon. This period is narrated in his memoir Trials in Burma. He gives special attention to the political trial of J. M. Sen Gupta, mayor of Calcutta, for sedition in impromptu speeches made during a brief visit to Rangoon in 1930; also to two criminal trials which became politically charged because they brought to light underlying attitudes of British merchants and army officers to Burmese people. Collis's judgments were (according to his own analysis) too independent to be pleasing to the then British Government of Burma, arousing the particular disapproval of his superior, Booth Gravely, Commissioner of the Pegu Division. After giving judgment in the last of these trials Collis was hastily moved to the post of Excise Commissioner.Many Burmese regarded him as a god as those judgements fulfilled a prophecy that a man who was not a Burmese would dispense justice, and his appearance would presage Burmese independence.After returning to England in 1934, he wrote many books, including Siamese White and Foreign Mud, as well as art and literary criticism. At the age of 65 he turned his hand to painting.His younger brothers were the writer John Stewart Collis and Robert Collis, a notable doctor and author; John and Robert were twins. 27.50 by 31.50in.

VASO CON SCENA DI LOTTA TRA UOMO E TIGRE IN MONTAGNA, SCOLPITA IN TURCHESE Cina, dinastia Qing, XVIII secolo - A VASE WITH SCENE OF STRUGGLE BETWEEN MAN AND TIGER IN THE MOUNTAINS, CARVED IN TURQUOISE La decorazione in altorilievo e a traforo comprende anche il coperchio. Intaglio molto fine e raffinato. Le venature nere sono sapientemente nascoste in secondo piano. Base a due piani in legno intarsiato di filo d’argento. Una foglia sopra la spalla del vasetto è scheggiata. 12 x 7 x 6,5 cm (base inclusa) Da un lato è raffigurata una scena drammatica in pieno svolgimento: un cacciatore, con un piede già tra le fauci della tigre, sta sollevando le braccia per colpirla con tutte le sue forze. La composizione dinamica - creata da un lato dal salto della tigre, dall'altro dallo scatto dell'uomo che si sta lanciando giù da una roccia con i vestiti svolazzanti - è collocata in un paesaggio montuoso. I rami di un pino sovrastano il coperchio e giungono anche dall'altro lato del vaso, dove un rifugio di alta montagna attende il viandante. Il percorso sarà lungo, il sentiero è ripido, scandito dagli alberi e dagli scalini che portano in alto. - China, Qing Dynasty, 18th Century The decoration in high relief and openwork also includes the lid. Very fine and refined carving. The black veins are skillfully hidden in the background. Two-level wooden base, inlaid in silver thread. A leaf over the shoulder of the jar is chipped. 4.72 x 2.75 x 2.56 in. (including base) One side depicts a dramatic scene in action: a hunter, with one foot already in the jaws of the tiger, is raising his arms to strike the beast with all his might. The dynamic composition - created on one side by the jumping tiger, and on the other by the darting man leaping down from a rock with his clothes fluttering - is set in a mountainous landscape. The branches of a pine tree tower above the lid and also reach the other side of the jar, where a high mountain shelter awaits the traveler. The road will be long, the path steep, marked by the trees and steps leading upwards. € 3000
