A STONE FIGURE OF VISHNU, PRE-ANGKOR PERIOD, PHNOM DA STYLEAncient region of Funan, Mekong Delta, 7th century. Well carved standing, holding a conch and disk in his uppermost hands, each connected by carved brackets to the cylindrical headdress, wearing a pleated sampot, the serene face with almond-shaped eyes and full lips forming a calm smile, flanked by long pierced pendulous earlobes.Provenance: From a notable collector in London, United Kingdom.Condition: Excellent condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, encrustations, losses, signs of weathering and erosion, minor nicks, cracks and scratches. Dimensions: Height 50 cm (excl. base) and 75 cm (incl. base)Mounted on an associated base. (2)The present figure encapsulates the subtle elegance of the late Funan style; the confident, noble presentation represents an established local aesthetic, although some aspects of its appearance recall the Indian Gupta tradition. Nevertheless, the embellishment one would find in north Indian sculpture of the period is absent, enhancing the svelte physique and cerebral strength, without reducing the sense of majesty. The slender body form replicates the ethnic Southeast Asian appearance, being both fine boned but physically powerful. Vishnu stands in a slightly relaxed pose, with his right knee bent; his chest and shoulder muscles are enlarged to accommodate the four arms and the effect is elegant both at the front and the back, illustrating an understanding of human anatomy, which is not always evident in sculptures of the period. The short, thick neck is widened further by the long ears and strengthens the otherwise vulnerable area around the head. The face has strong features, arched eyebrows and a generous, sensitive mouth encapsulating the beauty of the finest Funan images.Vishnu wears a knee-length garment, a practical local fashion, unlike the long robes of earlier sculptures that maintain the Gupta, Indian tradition. This garment, the sampot can kpin, is created from a long length of cloth wound once around the body and then pleated to form a scarf that passes between the legs from back to front, fastening at the waist. The central pleat provides additional reinforcement to the sculpture. Stone images from the late Funan period reflect an extraordinary degree of confidence and technical expertise; this suggests that sculptors followed prototypes evolved during earlier centuries that have not survived. Unlike their Indian contemporaries, who preferred to work in the relatively easily carved sandstones, Funan's sculptors seem to have deliberately chosen hard, difficult-to-work stones. There was a shortage of workable stone in the region; the earliest stone sculptures were possibly fashioned from boulders retrieved from the River Mekong and carried downstream during the annual floods. Later on, stone was carefully sourced and brought to the delta region.Almost all found stone sculptures in the Phnom Da style seem to belong to the realm of Vishnu and his incarnations, like this example. The Phnom Da style also seems rather homogenous compared to other stylistic phases.Expert's note: A detailed academic commentary on the present lot, elaborating on the history and art of Funan as well as the evolution of Vishnu images in the Mekong Delta, and showing many further comparisons to examples in both public and private collections, is available upon request.

John F. Kavanagh (1853 - 1898)Woman on a River BankOil on canvas, 47 x 60cm (18½ x 23½")Signed and inscribed 'Paris 1888'Kavanagh depicts a woman standing upon a riverbank or beside a lake. She is viewed from the side, hand on hip, standing in statuesque pose, seeming to look into the distance. The woman pauses from her work washing clothes, for items of washing rest upon a stool upon the ground. She wears a white scarf, violet blouse and long blue dress. She is viewed partially in shadow, but sunlight falls upon the rear of her scarf and back, and there is a warm, reflected, rosy light on her face and fingers.Behind her is the figure of a small elderly woman, also in shadow, perhaps carrying a load of wood upon her back. She stands upon a sunny, grassy bank, and there is a rowing boat moored nearby. Kavanagh’s use of granular pigment in the foreground gives texture to the picture, while, in contrast to the careful delineation of the human figures the vibrant, singing green of the riverbank and the hazy background, pleasingly evoke a hot, summer’s day at evening.Dr. Julian Campbell
