Product description
Monumental Antique French Bronze Sculpture of Guanyin "Monet" Unique Corner-Sitter in Royal High Style — 14.6 kg Solid Bronze, early 20th Century A rare and architectural masterpiece of exceptional weight and elegance. This monumental bronze sculpture, an impressive 57 centimeters high and weighing 14.6 kilograms, depicts Guanyin (Kuan Yin), the Bodhisattva of infinite compassion, in the iconic and sought-after posture of royal ease (Lalitasana / Royal Ease). Ingenious Corner-Sitter Design This specific piece is ingeniously designed as a 'corner-sitter' or 'edge-sitter'. Thanks to a perfectly balanced weight distribution, the bronze figure rests flawlessly stable on a flat surface, while its right leg gracefully dangles over the edge of a cabinet, mantelpiece, or table. This creates a fluid, three-dimensional dynamic that seamlessly connects traditional Buddhist art with high-end European interior architecture. Casting Quality & Exclusive Signature The sculpture exhibits exceptionally high casting quality with extremely fluid folds in the drapery and a serene countenance beneath a layered ceremonial tiara. The patina possesses a magnificent depth; the sheltered folds display dark oxide tones, while the prominent contact surfaces have developed a warm, ocher-golden satin sheen through generations of polishing and devotional touch. Within the flowing drapery of the garment is the cast, handwritten signature "Monet", which testifies to an exclusive French art foundry or interior studio from the early 20th century (the period of Art Nouveau and early Art Deco Japonisme). An absolute showpiece for the serious collector.
