It demonstrates the subtle palette characteristic of Peploe in the later 1920s. There is a focus on expressing the play of light upon form and colour. He was less concerned with conveying the emotion of model on this occasion, than he was with the shapes created by her pose and the delicate tones of the costume and skin.The tureen that is on the able on the left of the painting, appears to be the same item that takes centre stage in still life by Peploe, Lot 51.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

It served the essential function of holding the brushes that allowed a scholar to engage in the art of calligraphy and landscape and still-life painting. In addition to playing a functional role, the brushpot fulfilled the aesthetic taste of the literati because of its organic material which helped a scholar to reconnect with the natural world. Escaping to nature was a central theme of the literatus scholar as this provided him with an escape from the mundane world of current affairs to an ideal environment where he could reaffirm his identity as poet, philosopher and calligrapher. Zitan ('purple sandalwood'), alongside huanghuali was the finest type of wood at the time, and is the most dense and slow-growing of hardwoods used to create objects for the scholar's desk. Therefore, zitan brushpot of such impressive size as the present lot are particularly rare. A related zitan lobed brushpot, 17th/18th century, is illustrated by G.Wu Bruce, The Best of the Best. The MQJ Collection of Ming Furniture, Hong Kong, 2017, p.442. Compare with a similar zitan lobed brushpot, 18th/19th century, which was sold at Sotheby's New York, 15 March 2016, lot 24.紫檀為材，雕挖呈六瓣式。敞口，平沿，口沿起寬棱，倭角線由口沿向下延伸至底部隨弧形凸出，各瓣中心向下延續為六腳支承。紫檀自古就是中國最為名貴的木材。本器六方六棱，餘則光素無紋，惟以本然之紋理與渾厚之包漿為飾，簡潔素雅，協調規整，上下相應，婉轉相因。置於文人案頭，朝夕相伴，摩挲觀賞，是以澄懷觀道，以達悠遊隱逸自然。一例十七至十八世紀紫檀葵瓣式嵌銀筆筒，造型與本例相似，見伍嘉恩著，《木趣居：家具中的嘉具》，北京，2017年，頁442。另有一例十八至十九世紀紫檀葵瓣式筆筒，售於紐約蘇富比，2016年3月15日，拍品編號24，可資比對。For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
