A GRAY SCHIST FIGURE OF A WINGED ATLAS, ANCIENT REGION OF GANDHARA, 3RD - 4TH CENTURYThe atlant squats with his right leg raised, his toes outstretched, his right hand resting on his knee and his left still holding part of the superstructure which was originally located above him. His face superbly carved with almond-shaped eyes below bushy furrowed brows and full bow-shaped lips, framed by thick tufts of hair, flanked by his large wings.Provenance: An old private collection in France. Acher Eskenasy, Paris, France, acquired from the above in 2001. LP Collection Paris, France, acquired from the above. Acher Eskenasy is a noted French scholar and collector of Asian and tribal art. Major works previously owned by him are now in important collections and museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Musee du Quai Branly in Paris. Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, losses, nicks, scratches, structural cracks, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations. With an old sand-colored pigment coating.Weight: 8,241 g (incl. stand) Dimensions: Height 30.5 cm (excl. stand) and 35.5 cm (incl. stand)With a fitted wood stand. (2)Only a few sculptures communicate so clearly the classical legacy in Gandharan art. His mature, bushy face recalls the portraits of Greek and Roman gods and leaders, while his Herculean musculature evokes the athletic ideal. Furthermore, the atlant type stems from a tradition in classical architecture of depicting male and female figures supporting architectural superstructures best known from The Ten Books on Architecture by Vitruvius, dedicated to Emperor Augustus (see Rowland, Vitruvius: Ten Books on Architecture, Cambridge, 1999, pages 83 and 135).In the Gandharan context, similar examples in stucco surviving in situ line the veneer of stupa bases at Taxila and Hadda, recording the placement of such figures at Buddhist sites. Whilst maintaining a similar function and a clearly Western look, the Gandharan version differs from the classical prototype in the common inclusion of wings and the primarily ornamental rather than architectural function of the figure. Moreover, while we have evidence from which to understand his context at Buddhist sites, his precise identity remains a mystery. He has been called a disguised yaksha, a lesser Greek god, and a Garuda, yet there is no archaeological or textual foundation to underpin any of these claims (see Foucher, L'art Greco-Bouddhique du Gandhara, 1905, page 208, and Errington, The Western Discovery of the Art of Gandhara and the Finds of Jamalgarhi, London, 1987, page 67). Perhaps, the term “Atlas” ties him too closely to the classical prototypes, at the risk of obscuring added layers of meaning in the unique Gandharan context.Literature comparison: For a further discussion of winged Atlas figures from Gandhara, see P. Pal, Asian Art at the Norton Simon Museum, vol. 1, fig. 35, p. 68. For similar examples of winged “Atlas” figures, see W. Zwalf, A Catalogue of the Gandhara Sculpture at the British Museum, 1996, pp. 206-211, fig. 355-368. Two other examples survive in the Claude de Marteau collection in Brussels and the Peshawar Museum (see Kurita, Gandharan Art, vol. II, Tokyo, 1990, figs. 448 & 453, pp. 155 & 157).Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Bonhams New York, 17 March 2014, lot 66 Price: USD 245,000 or approx.

Pal, ,《Asian Art at the Norton Simon Museum》,卷1,圖35,頁68。一件相似的阿特拉斯像,見W. Zwalf,《A Catalogue of the Gandhara Sculpture at the British Museum》,1996年,頁206-211,圖355-368。兩件例子現存於布魯塞爾的Claude de Marteau collection和白沙瓦博物館(見Kurita,Gandharan Art,卷II,東京,1990年,圖448和453,頁155和157)。 拍賣結果比較: 形制:非常相近 拍賣:紐約邦瀚斯,2014年3月17日,lot 66 價格:USD 245,000(相當於今日EUR 280,000) 描述:西元三至四世紀犍陀羅灰色片岩阿特拉斯像 專家評論:請注意尺寸較大(40 厘米)。 拍賣結果比較: 形制:非常相近 拍賣:紐約佳士得,2007年3月21日,lot 238 價格:USD 12,000(相當於今日EUR 15,500) 描述:西元二至三世紀犍陀羅灰色片岩阿特拉斯像 專家評論:比較主題、雕刻風格和材料。請注意尺寸稍小(28.5 厘米)。
A VERY LARGE 'ROBIN'S EGG' ENAMELED AND GILT PORCELAIN FIGURE OF AMITAYUS, QIANLONG TO JIAQING PERIODChina, 1736-1820. Heavily potted, seated in dhyanasana on a cloth draped over a rectangular plinth with a shaped recessed gilt panel above a dragon emerging from crashing waves. His hands are lowered in dhyana mudra and holding an alms bowl. He is wearing long flowing robes opening at the chest adorned with a beaded jeweled necklace. His serene face with heavy-lidded eyes, gently arched brows, a circular urna, and bow-shaped lips. His hair elegantly falling in tresses over the shoulders and piled up into a topknot surmounted by a jewel behind the foliate tiara. The cloth, base, robe, hair, and jewels enameled in robin's egg with details picked out in turquoise and blue. The face, torso, hands, feet, tiara, and dragon gilt. Provenance: From an old German private collection, acquired in the 1970s and 80s. Thence by descent. Condition: As expected, the tips of the tiara, topknot, fingers, earrings and dragon's horns are restored to perfection. Further with glaze recesses, flaking and abrasions. Microscopic remnants of pigment which indicate that the figure was painted at some stage. Gilt porcelain figures of such a large size are usually restored to a much wider extent, due to their fragility, and it is therefore exceedingly rare to find one in such a well-preserved state overall.Weight: 5,156 g Dimensions: Height 43.5 cmExpert's note: Gilt porcelain figures of bodhisattva were produced from the Qianlong period onwards. The inspiration for such figures may have come from Ming dynasty bronze prototypes, such as the Xuande period gilt-bronze figure currently in the Berti Aschmann Foundation, Museum Rietberg, illustrated in On the Path to Enlightenment, Zurich, 1995, no. 72. An unmarked example, dated to the Xuande period, is in the V&A collection, no. 275&A-1898.Literature comparison: For a related example from the Malcolm MacDonald collection, no. DUROM.1969.358, and now in the Oriental Museum, University of Durham, United Kingdom, see Ireneus Legeza, A Descriptive and Illustrated Catalogue of the Malcolm MacDonald Collection of Chinese Ceramics, London, 1972, p. 122, no. 72.
