清 粉彩持經觀音立像
the bodhisattva moulded in standing position, with her left hand holding a scroll sutra, her richly enamelled lime green robe curls up from the sides, detailed with flowers against key-fret ground, the pink skirt with flowers on trellis ground, the sky-blue headscarf covers her high chignon drapes down on her back decorated with flowers and ruyi clouds, her eyes cast down with a benevolent expression
Provenance: Private English collection, Hampshire; the collection has been in the family for over four generations, since the 1920s
