RECUMBENT HORSE.

19th-20th century, China. Nephrite: Grayish yellow-green (celadon) with white areas and traces of brown markings. This large (59 lb.) Yangtze River Collection Qing-date horse has well-modeled mane and tail, with added color emphasizing the strands. Both the neck musculature and pose are believable, as is the modeling of the four legs tucked under the body. The marked spinal ridge is off center in the pose assumed by the beast, with the fat belly protruding on the opposite side, and the head turns back over the belly area rather than directly down the middle. The face appears both friendly and alert. The brown irregular streaks of the material cross over the sturdy body in interesting fashion, lending an abstract note to the otherwise physically realistic depiction. Reference: The Yangtze River Collection, Later Chinese Jades published by Helga Wall-Apelt, 1993. SIZE: 11″ x 17-5″ x 5.75″. (27.9 x 44.5 x 14.6 cm.) PROVENANCE: The Personal Collection of Dr. Helga Wall-Apelt. CONDITION: Natural fissures and inclusions throughout. 47671-21 (10,000-15,000) – Lot 3130
