EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pair of Chinese export figures of Seated Pug Dogs, dating back to the Qianlong period (1736-1795). Crafted from ceramic by the Chinese School in the 18th century, these exquisite sculptures stand at a height of 17.5 cm and are currently held in a private collection. The attention to detail is remarkable, with each pug dog depicted sitting on its haunches, their bushy tails elegantly curled around one hind leg. Their slightly open mouths reveal two small sharp teeth, adding an element of realism to their charming expressions. Adorned with collars featuring delicate gilt bells, these figurines exude elegance and sophistication. The naturalistic painting technique used for their fur creates a lifelike appearance, with rouge-de-fer hues beautifully capturing the essence of these beloved canine companions. The white reserved bellies provide a striking contrast against the richly colored fur. Although some damage and repair are evident on these precious artifacts, they continue to radiate beauty and grace. The presence of a Mock Meissen double cross-swords mark further adds intrigue to their history. This print allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship behind these ornamental sculptures but also offers insight into the cultural significance that dogs hold within Chinese artistry.
