Jean-Louis GRÉGOIRE (1840-1890) "Woman with foliage Bronze, medal patina, signed on the terrace Height: 70 cm

Buddha; China, Quing Dynasty, 17th-18th century. Gilt copper. Presents seals. It has a perforation on the back. Measurements: 19 x 11.5 x 9 cm. The position of the hands and the posture of the figure indicate that it is a representation of Amitayus, the Buddha of Infinite Life. This is the long-lived aspect of the Buddha Amitabha. Amitayus is depicted with singular refinement in this gilded bronze sculpture. Seated in the lotus position, with his hands clasped around his lap and palms upwards, he adopts a mudra, or gesture. The figure stands on a square pedestal, the lower part of which is decorated with calligraphic inscriptions. Above the foot stands the structure on which the richly ornamented Buddha-figure sits, from the base of which the folds of the cloth seem to descend, adorned with a lotus flower, a recurring theme in the representation of life. In a hieratic and stylised manner, the figure of the Buddha is presented seated in a lotus-flower position and performing a sacred gesture or mudra. The base, also in bronze, evokes a synthetic lotus flower, worked at different levels. The representation shows several "lakshana", iconographic symbols that identify the Buddhas and bodhisattvas. The first one we see is the chignon hairstyle, a symbol of meditation, concentrated spiritual life and wisdom. Above the headdress, a flame symbolises the light of enlightenment. The eyelids are a symbol of spiritual concentration and also of purity, due to their similarity to the petals of the lotus, and complete a serene face with a sketched smile, symbolising the balance and serenity of a perfect being. The elongated earlobes, in this particular case adorned with lotus flowers as earrings, allude to the large earrings worn by members of the upper classes in India at the time of Sakyamuni, and represent the concepts of greatness, nobility and wisdom. Buddha attained the ultimate evolutionary perfection, turning suffering into happiness for all living beings. Born around 560 BC, his father was a raja who ruled the north-eastern province of India. At the age of 29, the young prince gave up his life of luxury, as he felt compelled to purify his body and turn it into an instrument of the mind by ridding it of earthly temptations.

A GOOD NORTHERN SUKHOTHAI BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA THAILAND, C.15TH CENTURY Depicted seated in sattvasana with his left hand upon his lap in dhyana mudra and his right hand touching the ground in bhumisparsa mudra, wearing a samghati draped over his left shoulder, his face with downcast eyes and a serene expression, his head with tightly curled hair surmounted by a flame ushnisha, the figure raised on a lotus throne with a beaded upper rim above a hexagonal plinth, the metal with a deep-brown patina and occasional faint malachite encrustations, 15kg, 53.5cm. Provenance: from the collection of the late AJ Lippitt (1928-2019), Hampshire; acquired from Simon Ray Ltd., 8th October 2018 (a copy of the invoice is available); previously the collection of Dani and Anna Ghigo, acquired in Bangkok, 26th October 1973 (a copy of their stockbook page is available); sold by Christie's London, 11th May 2016, lot 75. The style referred to as Northern Sukhothai, also known as Chien Seng, flourished in Thailand following the rise to independence of local chieftans against earlier Khmer rule in the 13th century. Typical stylistic features in the artistic production of this newly formed polity include the hem of Buddha's samghati terminating above the navel, thick high-relief curls centering on a vertical line above the forehead and the overall slimmer features of the figure, emphasised by the slenderness of the fingers. To develop their new idiom, local artists also looked to work made in the neighbouring Lan An kingdom. The lotus throne with the broad petals and beaded rim above the polygonal plinth seen in the work offered here is a typical feature derived from Lan An statuary.

Jo Davidson (American, 1883-1952) "The Earth, 1910 Reinforced concrete. Signed on the terrace, located "Paris" and dated "1910". Height 195 Width 62 Depth 70 cm. (foam, old restoration) Provenance: former collection of the artist, at the Bécheron manor house in Saché. Jo Davidson, 1910. A reinforced concrete sculpture entitled "La Terre" ("The Earth"). Signed. Bibliography: Fine Arts Journal, Vol. 29, No. 2 (Aug., 1913), pp. 484-486 (3 pages) about the acquisition of the work by the Hackley Gallery, Muskegon, Mich igan. Auction by appointment. Visit in Touraine by prior appointment on 02 47 61 22 22. "La Terre" was created by Jo Davidson shortly after her arrival in Paris in 1907, following a brief period at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in the studio of sculptor Injalbert. During this period, the artist frequented Gertrude Stein's salon and avant-gardes, leading a bohemian lifestyle. A frequent visitor to the cafés of Montparnasse, he earned a reputation as a great storyteller. This female nude was exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in 1910. He sought to transcribe, in metaphorical language, the feelings evoked by nature. Davidson rubbed shoulders with the Post-Impressionists and gradually distanced himself from the academic heritage. Here, the allegory of the Earth is anchored in the ground, folded in on itself, wrapping itself in its arms. It is through the artist's meticulous work on the woman's body posture, resting her head on her shoulder in a gesture of abandonment, that he succeeds in breathing life into her. La Terre was well received at the time of its exhibition; the work was purchased by the Muskegon Museum in Michigan, and several bronzes were commissioned, including a copy at the Whitney Museum entitled "Nude". By making this copy in concrete, the artist keeps track of this first success, prefiguring a fruitful future.
