EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Articulated Figure of a Boy from the Kangxi period in China. Crafted out of ivory, this charming doll is a testament to the artistic mastery of the Chinese School during the Qing Dynasty. Measuring 35.5x30 cm, it resides in a private collection and has been beautifully captured by photographer Heini Schneebeli. The boy depicted in this artwork wears a joyful smile, radiating happiness and innocence. Seated with movable limbs, he exudes playfulness and charm. His bald head adds to his unique character, while his Asian features reflect cultural authenticity. Dating back to the 17th century, this ornamental toy represents both artistry and craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Its intricate details showcase meticulous attention to detail - from its lifelike expression to its anatomical accuracy. Surrounded by fruit as symbols of abundance and prosperity, this figure embodies positivity and good fortune. The botanical elements add depth to the composition while hinting at natural history and science. While nudity may be perceived differently across cultures, it is important to appreciate this artwork within its historical context rather than through modern lenses. This piece offers insight into traditional Chinese aesthetics without any commercial implications. Overall, this photograph captures not only an extraordinary work of art but also provides us with a glimpse into centuries-old traditions and artistic excellence that continue to inspire admiration today.
