Hermes-A silk Mountain Zebra scarf designed by Alice Shirley in a turquoise colour way, 90cm x 90cm, having hand-rolled edges, never worn, complete with original branded scarf box and ribbon. Condition:As new.The Hermes Story behind the scarf-The Cape mountain zebra is a rare protected species found in the south-eastern provinces of South Africa. Alice Shirley?s design is modelled on a foal that has wandered off to explore the fynbos, the unique vegetation of the southernmost region of the country. It grows in poor soil, and is regenerated by the bush fires sparked by lightning in the dry season. In spring, the fynbos transforms into a fragrant, multi-coloured carpet of flowers, a dreamlike vista. The artist has reproduced almost forty different plants to create a sumptuous setting for the little zebra.

GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF ZHENWU MING DYNASTY OR LATER 明或以後 銅鎏金真武大帝 cast in generous proportions, the figure seated mightily with legs bent and both hands rested on knee and thigh, he wears an armour beneath his full robe draping naturally, the front of his robe featuring a ferocious coiling dragon underneath a studded belt, the hems further carved and etched with details, his face with authoritative expression, a long wispy beard flanked by long pendulous ears, hair neatly combed back to a pointed end falling below the waist, with traces of black pigment(34.5cm high; 4.5kg)Footnote: Note: Zhenwu was an important Daoist and Buddhist symbol due to his identity as a warrior god and also as the protector of the North, an area at constant risk of invasion from foreigners and the Demon King. He was known as Supreme Emperor of the Dark Heaven and the Perfected Warrior. Ming emperors held him in very high esteem. The Yongle emperor attributed his success in the civil war to Zhenwu who was the subject of a state cult as protector of the Ming Dynasty and Yongle famously credited him with enabling him to seize the throne. From 1412 onwards, the Yongle emperor commissioned a series of temples and shrines to be built on the highest peaks in the Mount Wudang area. The Yongle emperor built Zijincheng or Forbidden City at the top of Mount Wudan and in 1416 installed an image of Zhenwu of larger dimensions but similar in appearance to this bronze in the Golden Hall. There are various theories and stories about Zhenwu's appearance. When the Emperor commissioned a figure of Zhenwu, the artist questioned how Zhenwu might look, Yongle famously quipped, 'Look at me'. He had recently risen from a bath, so with bare feet, wet, slicked black hair and a relaxed pose, he modelled for the sculptor, creating what was to become the known and popular image and pose of the hero. Another theory is that Zhenwu adopted a relaxed way to dress his hair and robes whilst in a spiritual retreat on Mount Wudang in Hebei Province. Other theories include that upon accepting his appointment as Emperor of Heaven he had been in a state of partial dress, combing his hair. After the acceptance, he found he could not put his hair up, realising that his present appearance was now unchangeable. This is how the depiction of Zhenwu tends to be recognisable, particularly with his long hair flowing down his back and bare feet. His pose is relaxed, yet imposing, with one hand resting open on his knee, the other hand facing down, at the same time regal yet not threatening. His robes, opening up at the chest, reveal his armour, a nod to his military past. His celestial scarf flows over his shoulders. He is often accompanied by a dragon and a snake around his feet, absent in this depiction. This particular pose became popular amongst later depictions of other gods such as Guandi, the God of War.

PERE PRUNA OCERANS (Barcelona, 1904 - 1977)."La blanche".1925Oil on canvas.Signed and dated in the lower right corner.Measurements: 116 x 89 cm; 135,5 x 108,5 cm (frame).The aura of Picasso's influence surrounds Pruna's work, and this is particularly evident in this work, which Pruna produced at a time when the most avant-garde European painters were looking back (to the Renaissance or Ancient Greece), reinventing classicism in their own way. Picasso was immersed in his classicist period when Pruna moved to Paris in the 1920s, and a relationship of friendship and mutual admiration began between them. The mark that the Malaga-born artist, in his post-Cubist period, left on Pruna is strongly felt in this painting. Elegance and simplicity are masterfully combined in this composition. The stylised profile of a young woman with her back to us is enhanced by the white scarf covering her black hair. A tight-fitting dress reveals the subtle swirl of her form. Faint silvery shadows define the curve of the buttocks, and these silvery glimpses reverberate on the girl's pearly flesh tones. Only a slight hint of crimson and the carmine of the fine lips interrupt the rich range of greys, which are also shared by the background. The room occupied by the figure is barely hinted at with a few linear strokes.A mainly self-taught painter, Pere Pruna completed his training at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona. After beginning to exhibit in Barcelona when he was still very young, he travelled to Paris in 1921, where he was helped and guided by Picasso. In the French capital he held a successful one-man show at the Galerie Percier, and came into contact with intellectuals such as Cocteau, Drieu la Rochelle, Max Jacob and others, with whom he founded the magazine "Philosophie" in 1924. Serge Diaghilev, who visited one of his exhibitions, also asked him to create the sets and costumes for the ballet "Les matelots" in 1925. From then on, he also worked on other musical works, such as "La vie de Polichinele" (1934) and "Oriane" (1938), among others. In 1928 he won second prize in the Carnegie Institute exhibition in Pittsburg and later, on his return to Barcelona, he won other awards such as the "Montserrat seen by Catalan artists" competition (1931) and the Nonell Prize (1936). Following the outbreak of the Civil War, Pruna continued his international exhibition activity, and his exhibition in London in 1937 was particularly noteworthy. After the war he combined his easel painting exhibitions with mural painting, a genre in which his works in the monastery of Montserrat were particularly celebrated. In 1965 he won the City of Barcelona Prize, and three years later he was appointed academician of the Far de Sant Cristòfor. His style, centred on a graceful, stylised female figure, is based on the clear delicacy of the pink and "neoclassical" Picasso, and reveals a certain parallelism with the Italian Novencento, being fully in keeping with the classicist trend that appeared in Western art after the first wave of avant-gardism and of which his friend Cocteau was the driving force. Pruna focused on portraiture and above all on the female figure, capturing images marked by great delicacy and sober distinction. His representations are characterised by a stylised, diaphanous line, and are in tune with the return to order that followed the rupture that Cubism represented in France, thus linking directly with the avant-garde. Pere Pruna is currently represented in the Museum of Montserrat, where there is a space bearing his name, the MACBA in Barcelona and the Maricel Museum in Sitges, among others.

A CAST AND REPOUSSE GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF AMITAYUS, QIANLONG PERIODChina, 1736-1795. The figure is shown seated in dhyanasana on a double-lotus base, the hands lowered in dhyana mudra, wearing loose-fitting robes decorated with foliate scroll at the hems, richly adorned with beaded, floral, and inlaid jewelry. The hair is pulled up into a tall double-topknot, falling elegantly in long segments down the sides of the shoulders, and surmounted by a jewel.Provenance: A private collector in New York, USA.Condition: Excellent condition with minor old wear, occasional light scratches, tiny nicks, few small dents. The base sealed. Some losses to inlays, some other inlays may be later replacements. Well-preserved ancient pigments. The amrita vase held in the figure's hands is lost.Weight: 4,077 gDimensions: Height 38.5 cmThe statue is made from solid and massively gilt copper alloy, as clearly evidenced by the lack of any dings or bent areas to body and base. Only the earrings, scarf, and strands of hair are executed in copper repousse.The serene face shows heavy-lidded eyes, gently arched brows centered by an urna, and full lips forming a calm smile, flanked by long pendulous earlobes.The present work exhibits many characteristics common to the Buddhist workshops of the Qianlong period, such as the combination of cast and repousse parts, the languid and slightly effeminate treatment of the face and body, and the tightly waisted double-lotus base with broad petals. The Qing court patronage of Buddhism that began under the Kangxi Emperor reached epic proportions under his grandson, the Qianlong Emperor. The Buddhist centers of Beijing, Rehol, and Dolonnor produced thousands upon thousands of images to keep up with the demand of the numerous temples in and outside the capital.Auction result comparison: Compare a related cast and repousse figure of a bodhisattva, belonging to the same group as the present lot, 37.1 cm high, also dated to the Qianlong period, at Christie's New York in Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art on 16 September 2016, lot 1231, sold for USD 35,000.13% VAT will be added to the hammer price additional to the buyer's premium – only for buyers within the EU.乾隆時期鎏金銅錘揲觀音坐蓮像中國,1736-1795年。髮髻高聳,耳垂花璫,髮綹層疊垂落披肩。細眉長目微閉,鼻樑挺秀,雙眉間有白毫,雙唇微抿,神情柔和。上身坦露,飾項圈和長鏈,雙肩披帔帛,飾瓔珞,臂釧、手臅等,下身著貼體薄裙,腰纖細,繫有寶帶,結跏趺坐坐於蓮座上,姿態優美。蓮座上飾一道連珠紋,蓮瓣橢圓修長,富有層次。 來源:紐約私人收藏。 品相:狀況極佳,有輕微磨損,局部有輕微劃痕與微小的刻痕,少量小凹痕。 底座密封。損失一些鑲嵌物,一些鑲嵌可能曾後期更換過。顔料保存完好。觀音手中的淨瓶丟失。 重量:4,077 克 尺寸:高38.5 厘米 造像鎏金厚重,身體和底座沒有任何凹痕或彎曲區域清楚地證明了這一點。只有耳環與帔帛及一縷頭髮是用錘鍱而成。 此造像呈現出乾隆時期銅鎏金造像的許多特點,如鑄件與錘鍱工藝的結合,面部和身體的慵懶和略顯柔美的處理,以及寬瓣束腰雙層蓮座。康熙帝在位時期對佛教的推廣在他的孫子乾隆帝時期達到了鼎盛。北京、瑞荷、多隆諾等佛教中心為了滿足眾多寺廟的需求,製作了成千上萬的佛教造像。 拍賣結果比較:比較一件銅鑄並錘鍱菩薩造像,與此拍品為同一組,高37.1 厘米,同爲乾隆時期,見紐約佳士得 Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art 2016年9月16日 lot 1231, 售價USD 35,000。

A MONUMENTAL WOOD STATUE OF GUANYIN, QING DYNASTYChina, 1644-1912. Finely carved standing, wearing a loose flowing robe falling in graceful folds to just above the bare feet, open at the chest to reveal a floral necklace, the eyes with black glass inlays, the hair swept up into a high chignon and centered with a figure of Amitabha seated on a lotus-form base. Traces of red, white and black pigments.Scientific Analysis Report: A 14C measurement report was completed by Antiques Analytics Laboratory, Germany, Dr. R. Neunteufel, on 14 December 2020, number AA 21-06102. The report states a date of 1687 - 1730 (24% probability) or 1806 - 1925 (71,4% probability). A copy of the report accompanies the lot. Provenance: From a noted private collection in Poland. Acquired ca. 1990 in the local market. Condition: The statue with losses, worm holes, remnants of pigments, natural age cracks, all as expected and commensurate with age.Dimensions: Height 158 cm (excluding the plexiglass base) Mounted to a fitted plexiglass base (2).This finely carved figure retains all of the robust power and majesty seen in figures of Tang, Song and Jin dynasty date. The folds of the drapery in the shawl, scarves and dhoti worn by this figure are reminiscent of that seen in painted wood figures of Song date, but the small, pursed mouth, the slender nose and oblique eyes, combined with the crown are more similar to those found in Ming painted sculpture.Literature comparison: Another figure of this type, dated Song dynasty, is in The National Gallery, Prague and is illustrated in Lubor Hajek and Werner Forman, A Book of Chinese Art, plate XIII. The long scarf draping over the shoulders and trailing to the base appears to be a characteristic of sculpture of the Yuan to Ming dynasty. See, for example, two large painted wood figures of bodhisattvas, each measuring 220 cm., from the Liang-sheng T'ang Collection, illustrated in Ancient Chinese Sculpture II, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan, 2000, pp. 94-7, nos. 37 and 38.
