Lot 385
A Dutch Delft blue and white wall cistern with basin, 18th C. - The decoration on this set carries more depth than one could grasp at first glance. From a philosophical point of view, the cistern could be considered as a fountain of youth. The deeper meaning of the decoration on this rare set, makes it an unusually interesting and inspiring whole. A first wink is already given with the cover, depicting a semi-nude female bust. Within the different chinoiserie panels, various ladies are depicted, each at a different stage of growth. The cycle commences near the the hole for the spout, where a young female child is depicted undressed. Both panels on the side of the cistern, depict an adolescent, not yet fully grown when compared to the size of the ladies in the next panels. The young girl is depicted pondering, looking at a pagoda-type structure in a mountainous landscape, possibly a metaphor for the path towards adulthood. The evolution continues in the panels surrounding the central part of the fountain, where an adult lady is shown in a quiet garden surrounding, near a flower vase. In the central panel above the spout opening, she is shown in the final stage of her life, walking with a cane, somewhat bent over, crossing a bridge, possibly a metaphor for the end of her life. As the circle is complete, we can now move on to the basin. The ladies have now been replaced by geese, depicted in a chinoiserie water landscape. Here, the geese are depicted in various stages of growth, again a wink towards evolution. Provenance: Acquired on the Belgian art market, ca. 1970 A private Belgian collectionDimensions: The wall cistern: H: 49 cm (incl. cover), the base: 24 x 17 cmThe basin: 41,5 x 37 x10 cmOther examples: A slightly later example with basin decorated in petit feu palette is in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, inv. nr.
