Lot Essay

This gilt-wood figure, with its very fine and defined features, could be a portrait of an unidentified Arhat. His hand gesture is interesting to notice as it is very rarely depicted on paintings or sculptures, it can be seen on a monumental figure of the Arhat Mahakasyapa sold at Bonhams New York, 14 March 2016, lot 8037.
