With a silk brocade frame and mounted as a hanging scroll.Dimensions: Image size 110.5 x 68.2 cm, Size incl. mounting 211 x 85.7 cmBakula, known as Jinguzo Luohan (Meditating Luohan) in Chinese, is the fifth arhat and often depicted with a mongoose spewing wish-fulfilling jewels, which is also commonly held by Jambhala, the Buddhist God of Fortune and Wealth.The arhat paintings of the early Ming dynasty owe much to the secular tradition of landscape literati painting in China, and break from the earlier Tibetan compositional practice of Buddhist paintings, in which deities and other important figures are set within a regimented and prescribed hierarchy. In most of the arhat painting sets, the main figures are set within lush landscapes, surrounded by craggy mountains, curving pine boughs, and flowing streams. In the tradition of Chinese literati paintings, nature and country life were seen as an escape from the intrigues of the court, a place where scholars could find the peace needed to write poetry, perform music, and develop ideas. It is no coincidence that the arhats of these early painting sets, figures who represented wisdom and enlightenment, were placed within the tranquil confines of a natural landscape.The Qing dynasty witnessed a revitalization of the cultural contacts between Tibet and imperial China, and the Manchu ruling class officially patronized Tibetan-style Buddhism in the capital of Beijing. This period also witnessed an explosion in the production of Buddhist art, particularly during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735-1796), thanks to innovations such as the printing press (for producing thangkas) and industrial molds (for producing sculptures). Stylistically, painting sets of the Sixteen Great Arhats from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries continued to follow the early Ming style, with arhats set in Chinese-style landscapes.Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related painting of the Buddhist patron Hvashang, referred to as the patron of arhats, also dated 17th-18th century, attributed to “Tibet or China”, at Christie's New York in Indian, Himalayan & Southeast Asian Works of Art on 17 March 2021, lot 453, sold for USD 750,000. 十七至十八世紀重要囉怙羅尊者像中國。立軸，絹本水墨設色。尊者盤腿坐在一個鑲滿寶石的華麗寶座上，身後有一圈光背，周圍圍繞著雲彩、樹葉和崎嶇的岩石。 一隻貓鼬臥在他的懷裡，不停地吐出如意寶珠，落入尊者的左手，然後落入一個放置在地上的盤中，與一些佛教之寶海螺一起。一個惡魔人物舉著這個盤子。尊者左側有一岩石，上面有一個透明的蓮花杯，裡面也盛著很多珠寶和一塊山岩。空中的雲彩中可見騎虎彌勒佛。來源：英國古玩市場，據説來自英國私人老收藏。品相：狀況良好，有舊時磨損、水漬、摺痕、小缺損和輕微修飾。絲織錦框。尺寸：畫面110.5 x 68.2厘米，總211 x 85.7厘米拍賣結果比較：比較一件相近的西藏或中國的十七世紀摩訶衍像，見紐約佳士得 Indian, Himalayan & Southeast Asian Works of Art 2021年3月17日 lot 453, 售價USD 750,000。

October 1914 Battle of La Bassee 1914 Star Casualty Medal Group 1st Battalion Bedfordshire Regiment, group consists of 1914 star, British War medal and Victory medals “9527 PTE J H CHAPMAN 1/BEDF R”, accompanied by the bronze memorial plaque for John Henry Chapman. John Henry Chapman was born in 1890 at Ely, Cambridgeshire and attested there for the Bedfordshire Regiment in 1910. He served with the 1st Battalion on the Western Front from 16 August 1914 as part of the 15th Brigade, 5th Division in Smith-Dorrien’s II Corps, his battalion coming under fire at Mons on 23 August and also three days later in a stand at Troisville during the Battle of Le Cateau in which the 5th Division won 3 Victoria Crosses. After services on the Marne and the Aisne they were rushed north by train and bus towards Flanders and the opening of the Battle of La Bassée. Taking over trenches at Givenchy on 12 October, the 1st Bedfords suffered terribly, the War Diary for the 13 October stating: “13 October 1914. Heavy bombardment of trenches & village all day. About midday cannonade became terrific. Practically every house damaged & neighbourhood of church continually shelled. Our front trenches, in continuation of Dorsets, unable to hold on in afternoon after Dorsets were enfiladed & withdrew. Smoke of shells & dust of falling houses made it impossible to see clearly what was going on to flanks. Enemy attacked front & flanks & Battalion retired about 300 yards in rear of village & reformed on new line holding road to Pont Fixe in continuation of Dorsets. Norfolks on our left. Losses 7 officers & 140 other ranks.” After a relative lull in the fighting, Chapman died of wounds on 22 October 1914 (1914 Star Medal Roll refers). The War Diary entry for 19 October provides the following insight into Private Chapman’s likely fate: “19 October 1914. Quiet. 'B' Company sent to join Cheshire Regiment on our left near Violaines. Subsequently at dawn on 22nd inst. were in support close to Cheshire front trenches when the latter were rushed by Germans, who came through on to 'B' Company. Lieutenants Coventry & Litchfield missing, believed to be killed. About 40 other ranks killed, wounded or missing.” The War Diary entry for 22 October reports no further fatal casualties for the battalion that day and so it is likely that Chapman together with the Lieutenant Coventry, Second Lieutenant Litchfield and the 14 other men of the battalion whom the CWGC records as having died on 22 October were all killed or died of wounds received in B Company’s support of the 1st Cheshires at Violaines. He was the son of William Chapman, of 5, Nutholt Lane, Ely, Cambridgeshire and is commemorated on Le Touret Memorial, France. Late Barry Hobbs collection.
