EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th or 18th century jade figurine, titled "Woman Standing by a Garden Rock," is an intriguing example of the rich artistic heritage of China during the Qing Dynasty. The figure, originating from Jiangsu Province in China, is made of abraded jade, a prized material for Chinese artisans due to its translucent quality and smooth texture. The woman is depicted in a typical pose, standing with a serene expression, her left hand resting on her hip and her right hand holding a garden rock. The figure's clothing is suggestive of the traditional garments worn during the Qing Dynasty, adding to its historical significance. The figurine's provenance is uncertain, but it is believed to have been produced in Suzhou, a city renowned for its jade carving industry. The figure's abraded surface, which gives it a soft, matte appearance, is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the artist. The "Woman Standing by a Garden Rock" is an evocative representation of the tranquility and beauty of Chinese garden culture, which was a significant aspect of Chinese life during the Qing Dynasty. This figurine is a rare and precious addition to any collection of Asian art, and a reminder of the enduring influence of Chinese art on global artistic traditions. Currently, this figurine is on exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The figure's presence in the museum's collection is a testament to the importance of preserving and sharing the world's artistic heritage.
