拍品描述 翻译
Expert's note:Although these figures were dated as Ming dynasty in a 1930 catalog from the Internationales Kunst- u. Auktions-Haus, Berlin, a closer examination supports a significantly earlier date. Limestone was almost never used for figural sculpture during the Ming period, when major advances in porcelain and bronze production provided more efficient and technically sophisticated alternatives to labor intensive stone carving. By contrast, the material, carving methods, and sculptural treatment of the present figures are consistent with earlier Buddhist limestone traditions rather than later developments.China, circa 8th-12th century. Each well carved in the round, confidently standing with plump bodies dressed in elaborate armor with a beast mask apron tied around the waist and a billowing sash framing the shoulders and heads. Vaishravana holds his hands at the waist and balances a parasol while Virudhaka brandishes a sword in his right hand. The oval heads detailed with almond-shaped eyes below gently arched eyebrows and subtle smiles, and surmounted by elaborate helmets. (2)Condition: Good condition with expected wear, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, nicks, chips, obvious losses, one figure with old repairs to the feet and base. The stone with a rich, naturally grown, smooth patina.Provenance:- R. de Geblaine collection, Dresden, Germany.- Internationales Kunst- u.

His journey started at age 8 when the drivers of his parents' trucking company brought him exciting things from their trips. He opened a gallery on Salvatorstra?e in Munich, where, with more than 60 years in the business, he became one of Germany's longest-serving art dealers. Part of his collection was donated to the Bavarian National Museum in Munich.Georg Luitpold Hartl (1939-2025) was a German art dealer specializing in Asian works of art who for nearly fifty years directed the Munich gallery Asiatica-Georg L. Hartl, continuing a family enterprise founded in 1932 by his father Consul Josef-Maximilian Hartl in Fuzhou, one of China's historic treaty ports. Building on this early bridge between Europe and East Asia, he established the gallery as a respected source for Chinese ceramics, Buddhist sculpture, and scholar's objects, serving collectors and museums internationally. An avid traveler and cosmopolitan by inclination, Hartl also served as Honorary Consul of the Republic of the Congo. He owned and managed Schloss Egg in Bernried, Bavaria, a medieval castle acquired by his father in 1939 and operated as a restaurant and hotel since 1963. In 2023, the municipality of Bernried named him an honorary citizen in recognition of his cultural and civic contributions.Weight: 24.3 kg and 18 kg (incl. stands) Dimensions: Height 65.4 cm and 63 cm (incl. stands)Each with a neatly fitted wood stand, likely carved from huanghuali and dating to the Qing dynasty (1644-1912).
