A rare Thai bronze figure of the Emaciated Buddha, Ratanakosin, seated in dhyanasana with hands in dhyana mudra and wearing a long dhoti and sash, his hair formed as spiky curls and with a domed usnisa finial, raised on a base decorated in relief with birds and animals in a rocky landscape frieze, late 19th/early 20th century, 89cm. Provenance: by repute, commissioned by King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), Thailand, Prince Damrong Rajanubhab,Thailand, Dr Johan Moger, Netherlands, Jean Thomassen, Netherlands, Purchased, Sotheby`s, New York, 26th March 1998, lot 211. Images of the Emaciated Buddha are unusual in Thai tradition, but depict Prince Siddhartha in his ascetic period. Despite his father`s attempts to deny the existence of the sick, aged and suffering, Siddharta`s discovery of their struggles led him to a life of denial, where he allowed himself just one grain of rice a day in order to purify his body and rid himself of earthly temptations. After reaching near starvation, he realised that he should follow a middle path, exercising moderation away from the extremes of self-indulgence and self-mortification. Thereafter, aged 35, he reached Enlightenment to become Gautama Buddha.

German School, circa 1790 , PORTRAIT OF FREDERICK WILLIAM II (1744-1797), KING OF PRUSSIA (1786-1797), WEARING THE UNIFORM OF THE 18TH ROYAL PRUSSIAN INFANTRY REGIMENT, HIS BLUE COAT WITH SILVER-EMBROIDERED PINK FACINGS, HIS HAIR POWDERED, WEARING THE ORANGE SASH AND BREAST STAR OF THE ROYAL PRUSSIAN ORDER OF THE BLACK EAGLE , Watercolour on ivory, in a brown leather hinged case, the cover gilt-stamped with monogram `R` surmounted by the Royal Prussian crown Oval, 2in (51mm) high. Frederick William II married his first cousin, Elizabeth Christine Ulrika of Brunswick-WolfenbŸttel in 1765 and had a daughter, the later Duchess of York and Albany. After his divorce in 1769, he was remarried to Frederika Louise of Hesse-Darmstadt and had five children, including King Frederick William III. His reign was characterised by scandalous moral decay at court due to his numerous mistresses, including the notorious trumpeter`s daughter `Rieke` Enke, styled `Countess von Lichtenau`. She and two further bigamous morganatic wives, the newly-styled `Countess von Ingenheim` (in 1787) and the newly-created `Countess of Brandenburg` (in 1790) made him the father of a further nine recognised children. His private pre-occupations prevented him from maintaining his uncle`s high standard in the Prussian Army, which finally led to the defeat of Prussia by Napoleon`s troops in 1807. Similar miniatures of the King, in almost identical frames, have been attributed to Anton Friedrich Koenig (1722-1787).
