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. The gilt-copper and cloisonne enamel artwork measures 24.8 cm in length and is part of a private collection. Each deer rests on a beautifully adorned cloisonne enamel cloth, featuring a delicate diaper pattern within a key-fret border. With their heads turned to the side, the deer gracefully hold sprigs of enameled lingzhi in their mouths. Their antlers arch forward over pricked ears, while their coats are meticulously inlaid with florets and spots made from lapis lazuli, turquoise, and white color. Rising from behind them is a gilt-copper vapor that supports an ornate double-gourd vase decorated with wan emblems, shou characters, and lotus sprays – all crafted using cloisonne enamel technique. The level of detail in this artwork is truly remarkable; every hair marking on the deer's coat has been carefully depicted. This piece exemplifies both decorative artistry and technical skill prevalent during the 18th century. Captured by eChristies Images for Fine Art Finder, this photograph allows us to appreciate the beauty of these recumbent deer without any commercial intentions or usage restrictions.
