EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a pair of recumbent deer, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of Chinese School during the Qing Dynasty's Qianlong Period. Measuring 24.8 cm in length, these gilt-copper and cloisonne enamel sculptures are a testament to the intricate artistry of their time. Each deer is depicted lying down on a beautifully adorned cloisonne enamel cloth, featuring an elegant diaper pattern within a key-fret border. With heads turned to the side, they delicately hold sprigs of enameled lingzhi in their mouths. The antlers gracefully arch forward over pricked ears, while their coats display fine hair markings inlaid with lapis lazuli, turquoise, and white color accents. Rising from their backs is a gilt-copper vapor that supports a ribbon-tied cloisonne enamel double-gourd vase embellished with wan emblems, shou characters, and lotus sprays. This intricate detail adds further opulence to an already ornate composition. The photograph showcases not only the beauty but also the historical significance of these artworks from the 18th century Qing Dynasty. It allows us to appreciate both the mastery of metalwork and enameling techniques employed by Chinese artisans during this period. This image serves as a window into ancient Chinese artistry and invites viewers to marvel at its intricacy and elegance for years to come.
