RODSTENSEJEE, WITH COUNT EMIL VON HOLSTEIN-RATHLOU (THE ARTIST'S BROTHER-IN-LAWsigned l.r. Holger H Jerichau oil on canvas 40 x 57cm. / 15¾ x 22½in. Provenance: Private Collection, Denmark The subject of the present work was one of Denmark's grandest and most extravagant aristocrats of the latter half of the 19th century. Born to wealthy parents, Emil (1849-1919) was known for his lavish lifestyle and his extensive seafaring, spending years aboard his ships in Danish waters and as far away as Alexandria. He was known for his parties and hunts for friends and peers, who included the Danish Royals. He had a particular passion for hunting, which was part of the reason he purchased the 14th century estate of Rodstensejee, in Jutland (Northeast Denmark) . He was made Court Huntsman to Christian IX in 1878, co-founded the Danish Hunting Association, served on its board between 1892-1897 and became a Knight of Dannebrog in 1896. Emil married Sophie Dagmar Elisabeth Jerichau, the artist's sister, in 1878, and the present work could either be a wedding gift or a later commission by the artist's brother-in-law. A further portrait of von Holstein-Rathlou by Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann, the present artist's mother, sold at Bruun Rasmussen, Copenhagen, 2011.

A VERY LARGE RARE GREY STONEWARE HUMAN-HEADED PILLARHan DynastyThe hollow rectangular pillar with two canted corners, moulded with panel of stylised foliate and archaic motifs, surmounted by a crouching human headed figure, the arms held together at the front and legs tucked in at the sides. 123cm (48 1/2in) high.Footnotes:漢 石雕人像柱Provenance: a distinguished UK Private collection, according to the owner the pillar has been in their collection from circa 1975來源：英國傑出私人收藏，據稱於約1975年入藏The present pillar would have been positioned before the entrance to a multi-chambered underground burial belonging to a high-ranking member of the Han dynasty. The various scenes of entertainment, parades, protective guardians and mythical figures formed part of an elaborate setting aimed at sustaining the tomb occupant in their afterlife. The ancestors in China were believed to be active participants to the life of their living offspring, which they could positively influence if provided with continuous nourishment and all the right necessities for their afterlife existence. A miniature universe was thus presented to the tomb occupant in the form of multi-chambered burials, constructed underground, which mimicked the large estate inhabited by the owner before death. These included parades of officials entering the gate, banqueting and hunting scenes, reception halls, musical scenes. Heavenly realms were also part of this elaborate settings and normally depicted in the form of spirits riding clouds, unusual birds and the four animals, symbolising the four quadrants of the sky and earth; see J.Rawson, 'The Eternal Palaces of the Western Han: A New View of the Universe' in Artibus Asiae, vol.59, 1999, pp.5-58; see also ibid., 'Creating Universes: Cultural Exchange as Seen in Tombs in Northern China Between the Han and Tang Periods', in Between Han and Tang.

A very rare massive sancai-glazed model of a Bactrian camelTang Dynasty The beast powerfully modelled in mid-striding pose with its tall hair-lined neck reared back, the head raised and mouth open as if bellowing, exposing its teeth and prominent tongue, the cream-glazed body surmounted by a square fringed blanket finely decorated in green, chestnut and straw-glazes, the carved details of the fur glazed in brown. 88cm (34 5/8in) high x 74cm (29in) wide x 27cm (10 5/8in) deep.Footnotes:唐 三彩駱駝俑Provenance: Tai Sing Fine Antiques Ltd., Hong Kong A distinguished American private collection, acquired from the above in January 2002來源：香港大成古玩有限公司美國私人收藏，於2002年購自上者Finely modelled with an arched neck and mouth open wide as it bellows, the present camel is an exceptional example of sancai sculptures created during the Tang dynasty. The extraordinary sense of realism, conveyed by the forward moving posture of the creature, enhanced by the strong and slender legs, highly detailed with naturalistic tufts of dark fur, and the tall humps, gently swaying to either side of the body, shows a remarkable degree of observation on the sculptor's part which is rarely otherwise encountered on animal models of this period to this high degree.The creature would have been individually sculpted and extremely expensive to produce at the time. It would have been commissioned for internment in a burial belonging to an elite member of Tang society and deemed to become alive for the benefit of its owner. Ancestors in China were deemed active participants in the life of their living offspring, which they could positively influence if provided with continuous care. Miniature universes were thus presented in burials and filled with a variety of necessities as painted, carved or moulded images, which were believed to function like their real counterpart if provided with the correct features. Forming an analogical relation with daily forms, these figures and models embodied important social and ideological aspects of their own time; see J.Rawson, 'The Power of Images: The Model Universe of The First Emperor and Its Legacy,' Historical Research, 2002, vol.75, no.188, pp.123-54. By the Tang dynasty, the burials constructed for the highest-ranking members of society were decorated in a way that suggested a Courtly architectural compound through painted designs of receiving halls, garden settings and official gatherings, and a large amount of pottery figures of courtiers, attendants, entertainers, horses and camels; E.L.Johnston, 'Auspicious Motifs In Ninth-Thirteenth-Century Chinese Tombs', Ars Orientalis, 2005, vol.33, no.2, pp.33-75; see also J.Rawson, 'Creating Universes: Cultural Exchange As Seen In Tombs In Northern China Between the Han and Tang Periods', Between Han and Tang: Cultural and Artistic Interactions in a Transformative Period, Beijing, 2001, pp.113-152. These referred to frivolous moments of daily life and appeared in conjunction with a variety of extravagantly shaped vessels and personal ornaments made of gold, silver, and other precious materials, which reflected the prosperity of the Empire.In appearance, the present camel represents the Bactrian camel, which was imported into China from the areas of the Tarim Basin, eastern Turkestan and Mongolia. This species was highly regarded by the Tang Emperors who established dedicated offices to oversee the Imperial camel herds. Referred to as the 'ships of the desert', camels endured hot temperatures and were the essential method of transport for merchants wishing to conduct trade with the oasis cities of Central Asia, such as Samarkand, Bukhara and Isfahan, along the trading routes of the Silk Road; see E.R.Krauer, The Camel's Load In Life & Death, Cambridge, 1998, pp.50-120.Vast riches poured into the Tang capital, Chang'an, from the Silk Road. Merchants came from far afield to acquire silk, bamboo and lacquer wares, and imported perfumes, horse and jewels; see E.Schafer, The Golden Peaches of Samarkand: A Study of Tang Exotics, Berkeley, 1963, pp.7-40. Different types of food, spices, and wines were also imported into Tang China, as well as exotic musical genres, fashions and literary styles. In the arts, many foreign shapes such as amphorae, bird-headed ewers and rhyton cups, and decorative motifs, such as hunting scenes, floral medallions, garlands, swags, vines and Buddhist symbols, were imported from Central Asia and the Middle East; see B.Mater, De Gouden Eeuw Van China: De Tang Dynastie (618-907AD), Assen, 2011, pp.16-68. The recent excavation of thirty-seven tax receipts, recording approximately 600 payments, made in a year at a tax office outside Turfan (present-day Xinjiang), testifies to the fast pace of trading activities during the Tang dynasty. Chang'an had two main markets, referred to as the Eastern and the Western Market, both filled with shops, eateries and tea houses, and additional trading centres were established in the proximity of its main gates; see V.Hansen, The Silk Road: A New History, London, 2012.The animated attitude of this remarkable camel is reminiscent of the running camels vividly depicted on the walls of Crown Prince Zhuanghuai's tomb (d.684), excavated in Qianxian near Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, dated to 706 AD, illustrated in Out of China's Earth: Archaeological Discoveries in People's Republic of China, Beijing, 1981, pl.258.Compare also with a large sancai camel, Tang dynasty, similarly modelled in mid-stride, in the collection of the British Museum, London, illustrated in Sekai toji zenshu, vol.11, Tokyo, 1976, p.148, no.136.A related sancai-glazed camel, Tang dynasty, was sold at Bonhams London, 8 November 2018, lot 28.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

For more information about Collins, see R.Davids and D.Jellinek, Provenance, Oxon, 2011, p.124.Lacquer bowls depicting hunting are rare. Although hunting was extolled by early Ming Emperors - who had inherited the tradition from the Mongol Yuan as a sign of military prowess and state authority, by the mid and late Ming period it was seen by the literati as a distraction from grave matters of state. The role of hunting became a charged area of contestation, where Ming Emperors and senior court ministers staked claims about rulership, ruler-minister relations, and the role of the military in the polity. The heirless Zhengde Emperor (1505-1521) was particularly passionate about hunting, much to the consternation of his ministers; see D.M.Robinson, Martial Spectacles of the Ming Court, Cambridge MA, 2013, pp.214-220.

Thumb rings, such as the present lot, were used by archers as protection and to aid in releasing the bowstring. During the Qing dynasty, thumb rings were produced in various media and carved with a profusion of subjects ranging from poems, flowers, figures and landscape views. They were highly fashionable among the literati as symbols of culture and wealth.Jadeite rings carved in openwork are rare.

He was appointed third lieutenant in H.M.S. Discovery on the British Arctic Expedition, 1875-1876 (led by George Nares), sent by the Admiralty to attempt to reach the North Pole by way of Smith Sound and to explore the coasts of Greenland and adjacent lands. Following his transfer to H.M.S. Alert in August 1875, Rawson undertook a sledge journey with Sub-Lieutenant George Egerton in March 1876, during which they saved the life of Danish dog-driver Niels Petersen. In one of the exploits described in the Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society for 1882, it was on this sledge trip that he "attacked and killed a musk ox without a gun, and armed only with a stick and knife which he fastened to the end of it; ever on the look out to procure fresh meat for the sick".Condition report: Old wear commensurate with age, generally very good. As noted, knife's top spring is missing so will not lock in the open position.
