拍品描述

Two small Chinese Dehua Blanc-de-Chine Buddhist figures Late Ming/Early Qing dynasty, 17th/18th century The first, a seated Guanyin holding a scroll, covered overall in a creamy-white glaze, the reverse with impressed He Chaochun seal mark within a double gourd, 9.5cm high, the second, a figure of Budai leaning on a sack, reclining over a dais supported by craggy rocks, the glaze of a bluish-white hue, 10cm long (2). 明晚期/清早期，十七/十八世紀 德化白釉觀音坐像及臥佛像，觀音像有「何朝春」款 Cf. A larger figure with the same mark was sold by Bonhams New Bond Street, 9 November 2017, lot 73. 參閲：一件帶有相同款識的較大型造像，曾於2017年11月9日在邦瀚斯倫敦新龐德街拍賣行售出，拍品編號73。 He Chaochun is believed to have been related, possibly the younger brother of He Chaozong, and is thought to have worked roughly twenty years later, producing work on a more modest scale than the renowned late Ming dynasty Dehua master. 何朝春一般被認為與何朝宗有親屬關係, 可能為其弟, 其活動年代約晚二十年左右，作品規模較這位明末德化名家更為小巧樸實。
