拍品描述 翻译
A GRAY AND RUSSET JADE FIGURE OF A RECUMBENT ELEPHANT, LATE MING TO MID-QING DYNASTY
China, 17th-18th century. Carved from a large pebble, the pachyderm lies with its front feet extending outward and its back feet tucked underneath, its tail flicks up towards its head which is turned sharply to the right. Masterfully carved, the elephant’s eyes, lashes, and brows are finely incised with the folds of its ears, its wrinkly skin, and its three-toed feet excellently detailed. The superbly polished and partly translucent stone is of a celadon tone with opaque cream and russet shadings, icy veins, and dark grayish-green clouds.

Provenance: Spink & Son, London (according to the label). Property of an American Collector, acquired from the above. Sotheby’s New York, 24 March 1998, lot 383, offered at a low estimate of USD 10,000 or approx. EUR 17,000 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing).

During his youth, Worrell attended college, completing a degree at the George Washington School of Law, and worked for the FBI during World War II as a special agent. In 1949, he began a career as a newspaperman and, with his wife, founded The Virginia Tennessean in Bristol. This marked the beginning of Worrell Newspapers, Inc., which became one of the largest chains of small dailies in the United States. The office of the Worrell Investment Company was home to The Worrell Collection, where the present lot was exhibited until 2022. The only collection of its magnitude in the country, it included sculpture, paintings, and antique Chinese jades.
