A LARGE AND MASSIVE SPINACH-GREEN KHOTAN JADE FIGURE OF GUANYIN, PROBABLY TAKEN FROM THE OLD SUMMER PALACE IN BEIJING IN 1861
China, ca. mid-18th to mid-19th century. Finely carved standing, cradling a lingzhi sprig and ruyi scepter in her delicate hands, wearing a long flowing robe cascading in voluminous folds, her serene face with heavy-lidded eyes, the neatly incised hair tied up into a high chignon secured by a ruyi-head hairpin. The stone of a deep spinach-green tone with creamy, russet, and cloudy inclusions.

Provenance: Eugénie de Montijo (1826-1920), Empress of the French from her marriage to Emperor Napoleon III, and thence by descent in the family. Christie's London, 12 October 1950, lot 121. The Graham Collection, London, acquired from the above and thence by descent in the 1970s to a private English collector. A copy of the lot entry in the Christie's London auction catalog from 12 October 1950, stating the present lot was “Formerly the Property of the Empress Eugenie” and with handwritten notes by a previous owner, accompanies this lot.

It is probable that the present statue was originally located at the Old Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan, in Beijing and subsequently part of the loot of several hundred pieces sent to Empress Eugénie directly by General Charles Cousin-Montauban (1796-1878).

In the morning of 21 September 1860 General Cousin-Montauban was the commanding officer of the Anglo-French troops, fighting the battle at the bridge of Palikao against the Qing Imperial forces, a decisive event of the Second Opium War. Their victory allowed the Western forces to take the Chinese capital Beijing and eventually defeat the Qing Empire. On 6 October 1860, French and British troops captured the Old Summer Palace, looting the Imperial collections over the next few days, again under the command of General Cousin-Montauban.

In 1861, General Charles Cousin-Montauban sent numerous crates of the enormous French loot of the Summer Palace to Empress Eugénie in France as a personal gift to the Imperial French household, with the first shipment arriving in February 1861. The inventory of this shipment numbers some 800 objects, with over 300 coming directly from the sack of the Summer Palace. As a reward, the general eventually received the title of Comte de Palikao by Emperor Napoleon III in 1862.

In 1863, the Empress established a museum of Chinese art called the Musée Chinois (Chinese Museum) at the Palace of Fontainebleau. She carefully curated the collections and displays of this museum, at the time almost exclusively consisting of the objects taken from the Old Summer Palace in 1860. In later years, Eugénie combined the Chinese collection with gifts originating from the French embassies in Siam, Cambodia, Japan, Korea, and Tibet to collectively form the core of the Asian art collection in Fontainebleau, which she later complemented with objects confiscated by the state during the French Revolution and kept since then at the National Library, some diplomatic and non-diplomatic gifts, and acquisitions she made on the French art market using the Imperial household's personal budget. The museum has been preserved in a layout largely similar to that of the 1860s and is one of the world's oldest museums specifically dedicated to Asian art. It is unknown which and how many of the pieces from the museum went with Empress Eugénie to England after her husband was overthrown in 1870, but there are speculations that the amount was quite substantial.

Empress Eugénie of France was born María Eugenia Ignacia Agustina de Palafox y Kirkpatrick, 19th Countess of Teba, 16th Marchioness of Ardales, in Granada, Spain. She was Empress of the French from her marriage to Emperor Napoleon III on 30 January 1853 until the Emperor was overthrown on 4 September 1870. Napoléon and Eugénie had one child together, Napoléon, Prince Imperial (1856-79). After the fall of the Empire, the three lived in exile in England. Eugénie outlived both her husband and son and spent the remainder of her life working to commemorate the Second French Empire. After World War I, Eugenie lived long enough to see the collapse of other European monarchies, such as those of Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary. She left her house in Farnborough with all her collections to the heir of her son, Prince Victor Bonaparte.

Published: The Times, London, 13 October 1950, a column in the paper relating to various jades in the Christie's sale including this figure of Guanyin from Princess Eugenie which sold at 250 Guineas (at the time, the cost of house in London averaged at ca. 1.500 Guineas). A copy of a newspaper clipping with this column accompanies this lot.

Condition: Very good condition with some old wear, natural inclusions and imperfections of the stone, few minuscule nicks here and there, light scratches. The wood base with minor losses, natural age cracks and a fine naturally grown patina.

Weight: c. 24 kg (without the base)
Dimensions: Height 75 cm

With a matching wood base dating from the same period, finely carved with lotus petals. (2)

大型和田碧玉觀音立像 中國，約十八世紀中期至十九世紀中期。碧玉觀音髮梳高髻，佩戴如意髮飾；雙目微閉，神情和藹慈祥，法相飽滿。胸前掛瓔珞，著長袍，雙手持靈芝紋如意，立於橢圓形蓮台之上。觀音造像生動傳神，端莊穩重，衣著華美，衣紋飄逸，刀法嫻熟，突出觀音肅穆端莊之氣。玉質溫婉細潤，碧綠色澤沉穩，滋蘊內斂，含絮狀物。

來源：Eugénie de Montijo歐珍妮·德·蒙提荷(1826-1920)，是法蘭西第二帝國皇帝拿破崙三世的妻子和法國最後一位皇后，保存在同一家族；倫敦佳士得，1950年10月12日，lot 121；倫敦 Graham Collection，購於拍賣，一直保存至上世紀七十年代被一英國私人收藏家收藏。隨附倫敦佳士得拍賣目錄文字副本，上描述 “Formerly the Property of the Empress Eugenie” （歐珍妮皇后財產）與上任藏家手寫注釋。

1863年，皇后在楓丹白露宮建立了中國藝術博物館，名為Musée Chinois（中國博物館）。後來，歐珍妮將中國藏品與來自法國駐柬埔寨暹羅大使館的禮物結合，日本，韓國和西藏共同構成了楓丹白露亞洲藝術收藏的核心。之後她補充了法國大革命期間國家沒收的物品，並從那時起保存在國家圖書館，其中包括一些外交和非外交禮物，以及她使用皇室的個人預算在法國藝術市場上進行的收購。該博物館的佈局與 1860 年代的佈局大體相似，是收藏亞洲藝術的最古老的博物館之一。 1870 年，拿破侖三世被推翻後，博物館的哪些藏品和多少件隨她前往英國尚不得而知，但有人猜測數量相當可觀。

歐珍妮皇后來自西班牙一個沒落貴族家庭，是第十九代特瓦女公爵、第十六代阿爾達萊斯女侯爵。1853年1月30日，她和剛剛稱帝的拿破崙三世舉辦了盛大的婚禮，歐珍妮成為了法國末代皇后。婚後，她生下一個嬰兒即她的獨子拿破崙四世。1870年普法戰爭爆發，共和派領導民眾推翻了第二帝國，歐珍妮皇后帶著她的收藏流亡海外。1873年，拿破崙三世逝世。緊接著1878年，她唯一的兒子在南非祖魯戰爭中意外陣亡。歐珍妮皇后深受打擊，漸漸開始了隱居的生活，直到1920年自己去世，享年94歲。歐珍妮皇后對法國的時尚歷史文化影響深遠。歐珍妮皇后的餘生都在努力紀念法蘭西第二帝國。第一次世界大戰後，歐珍妮的壽命足以見證其他歐洲君主制的崩潰，例如俄羅斯、德國和奧匈帝國。她帶著她所有的收藏品離開了她在範堡羅的家，交給了她兒子維克多·波拿巴王子的繼承人。

出版：1950年10月13日倫敦《泰晤士報》刊登了一篇專欄文章，講述佳士得拍賣會上的各種玉器，包括這尊歐珍妮皇后的碧玉觀音像，售價為 250 吉尼（當時倫敦的平均房價約為 1.500 吉尼）。隨附一份剪報副本。
