Lot 126
A RARE AND VERY LARGE PALE GREEN AND GREY JADE CARVING OF A RECLINING HOUNDLate Qing Dynasty/RepublicThe slender recumbent hound carved with its head turned facing the rear, with front paws together and hind legs tucked beside its belly, the back finely detailed with the spinal ridge, the ribs well defined, the stone of greenish and dark tone suffused with brown inclusions. 30.7cm (12in) long.Footnotes:晚清/民國 玉臥犬Provenance: Christie's London, 4 April 1979, lot 226James Basil Wilson and Julia Wilson, and thence by descent來源： 倫敦佳士得，1979年4月4日，拍品編號226James Basil Wilson與Julia Wilson伉儷舊藏，並由後人保存迄今In 1945, James Basil Wilson returned from The Second World War having served with the Gurkhas. He married Julia Burke in 1949 and they moved to London. James started working for Iron and Steel Exporters and later that year, he was offered the chance to set up an office in Hong Kong, so they moved there and set up home. The business was successful, they loved Hong Kong and they lived the life of expatriates to the full. They swam, played golf, made friends and indulged their passion for fast cars, competing in amateur road races. Julia claimed to have won at the first Macau Grand Prix. As well as enjoying the pastimes of the culture they brought with them, they developed an enduring love for China, Chinese people, Chinese food and Chinese art. With a growing family, they returned to England in 1957. They brought with them the pieces they had bought in Hong Kong and James made many trips to Hong Kong and continued to build their collection throughout the following decades mainly from dealers in London.Jade carvings of dogs, generally depicted in a recumbent posture, were made from the Tang dynasty onwards but are seldom found in such exceptionally large size as the present lot.Dogs were long valued for their fidelity and alertness. The dog first appears in Chinese art as the hound of the hunt, becoming next the ferocious dog of war, and lastly the fearless guardian of the Palace and the Temple. It was common practice for pottery models of dogs to be buried during the Han dynasty, in the belief that they would keep the deceased master's company in the afterlife. This motif was later revived in the Yuan period and continued in a mannered and simplified form into the Ming and Qing dynasties. Jade carvings such as the present lot may have been owned by those who wished to be known for their hunting skills, an activity that was associated with rank and status. Compare with a related pale green and russet jade crouching hound, Song dynasty, illustrated by J.Rawson, Chinese Jade from the Neolithic to the Qing, London, 1995, p.366, pl.26:10; and another example of a pale green and russet jade hound but in a sitting posture, Qing dynasty, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Jadeware III, Shanghai, 1995, no.86.Hounds formed a central part of the hunting practices of the Qing Court, keen to maintain the Manchu traditions. The importance of the hounds to the Qianlong emperor is clearly evident from the series of paintings of favourite dogs commissioned from the Jesuit Court painter Giuseppe Castiglione, and in the later ten-leaf album painted by Ignaz Sichelbarth, circa 1745-1758; see two paintings by Castiglione depicting recumbent hounds, in the Palace Museum, Taipei, nos.GuHua00373400000 and GuHua00374000000; and Ten Fine Dogs, a ten-leaf album in the Qing Court Collection by Sichelbarth, painted after Castiglione, illustrated by E.S.Rawski and J.Rawson, eds., China: The Three Emperors 1662 - 1795, London, 2005, pp.188-189, no.84.Furthermore, the importance of hounds in Qing Court culture manifested itself not just in jade carvings and paintings, but also in ceramics. See for example, a green-glazed model of a hound, 18th century, in a pose very similar to Castiglione's portrayal of a dog named 'Sudden-flight Magpie', illustrated in Portrayals from a Brush Divine: A Special Exhibition on the Tricentennial of Giuseppe Castiglione's Arrival in China, Taipei, 2015, pp.238-239, no.V-22. This suggests the possibility that the production of such 'portraiture porcelain' of dogs was connected to Western missionaries in the 18th century.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
