A rare bamboo figure of a luohan
Qianlong, signed Wang Yun
Superbly carved in the form of a smiling figure with full naturalistic detail, depicted seated on a rocky outcrop issuing leafy plants, his left foot pendant and right foot resting on his knee and his left hand holding a dish bearing pine needles, his right hand touching his cheek with another strand, his face with an amused expression, his robe scattered in folds revealing his wrinkled skin, the bamboo of a rich golden patina.
18cm high.
