Beschreibung:

A RARE PAINTED POTTERY KNEELING FIGURE OF A COURT LADY China, Western Han dynasty (207BCE-9CE) Pottery. The features of the face of this young woman are delicately modeled. The fine arch of the eyebrows, the straight nose, the small and luscious mouth, the powdery whiteness of the complexion all conform to the beauty canons of the time. Her hair is divided into two symmetrical, slightly rounded masses, gathered at the back in a low and supple bun tied with a long ribbon. The loose-fitting long dress, flared down, is held at the waist by an orange belt. Collar and sleeves are edged with a red gallon. the upper part of the two underwear in light green and white can be seen from the V-neck collar of the dress. Her left hand places flat on the knee and her right hand, modeled separately like the head, no doubt held an object, perhaps a lamp or an offering to her deceased lord. Well preserved, with stains on the surface, the right hand is missing. For comparison, see the Kneeling figure of a woman, No. F1956.7, The Freer Gallery of Art. Another similar piece was sold in the Live Auction 7431, Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art, Lot 144, Christie’s London. Expertise: With result of thermoluminescence test from the laboratory Oxford University (Feb. 9, 1987). Provenienz: From an important private collection in Brussels, the collector purchased it from Gisèle Croës in Brussels in 1980s.
