Footnotes: PROPERTY FROM A FRENCH PRIVATE COLLECTION 法國私人珍藏 明 鎏金銅善財童子立像 This charming figure of Sudhana, known as Shancai in Chinese, a young Indian boy who went on a pilgrimage seeking enlightenment and studying under 53 masters, was associated with the image of Guanyin from the mid-Ming dynasty. In visual representations of the Guanyin, the figure of Sudhana would appear next to the figure of Longnu, the Dragon King's daughter. These two youths are considered Guanyin's acolytes, and while there is no scriptural basis for this grouping, the two figures often appear together, Sudhana standing to the right of Guanyin, and the figure of Longnu on the left. See a related gilt-bronze example of Sudhana, published in Selected Gems of Cultural Relics - Newly Collected in the Palace Museum in the last Fifty Years, Beijing, 2005, pp.130-131, no.168.

PETITE STATUETTE DE BOUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI EN BRONZE DORÉ XVIIIe siècle A SMALL GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI Udayana style, 18th century Exquisitely cast and richly gilt, standing barefoot, with his left hand held in abhaya mudra, the gesture of reassurance, and right hand raised in varada mudra, the gesture of bestowal of charity, dressed in a full length diaphanous robe elegantly draped across his shoulders and falling in long undulating folds over his body and arms, his face serene and with a benevolent expression, his head covered with tightly curled whorls around a pronounced usnisa, the base later added. 14cm (5 1/2in) high. (2). Footnotes: 十八世紀 烏仗那式鎏金銅釋迦牟尼佛像 Provenance: Formerly in the collection of Auguste Gerard (1852-1922), director of the postal services in Beijing (1893-1897), and French ambassador to Japan (1906-1913), thence in the family by descent. 來源: 施阿蘭(Auguste Gerard)(1852-1922)舊藏,於1893年至1897年間任駐清朝公使,1906年至1913年間任法國駐日大使,後家族流傳。 The term Udayana refers to a legendary Indian sandalwood sculpture of Buddha, now lost but believed to have been brought to China in antiquity. The Udayana style, as it is known today, is ultimately derived from the Buddhist sculpture of ancient Gandhara from around the first century AD where Buddha images reflected Classical influence in their flowing robe. This style of Indian Buddhist sculpture where robes are depicted with pronounced folds was common throughout the region and readily accessible to Chinese pilgrims and travellers such as Fa-hsien who is known to have visited the area sometime around the beginning of the fifth century. Indian Buddhist teachers also travelled east, and the sculptural trend thus found its way to China. Testimony to this migration of style is seen in the renowned gilt bronze Udayana style Buddha in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, dated 486 and identified by inscription as Maitreya, where the Buddha's hands are held in abhaya and varada mudra, with the robe falling from the shoulders in stylised undulations, Denise Patry Leidy, 'Notes on a Buddha Maitreya Sculpture Dated 486 in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York', in Oriental Art, Winter, 2005-6, p.22, fig.1. The hands are shown with pronounced webbing between the thumb and forefinger, one of the lakshana or identifying marks of a Buddha. Compare with another figure cast in the same style and position, dated to the 18th century, in the collection of the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, illustrated in Ulrich von Schroeder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, 1981, p.553, pl.158E.
