18th/19th century
Crisply carved as a rugged mountainous landscape enclosing stairways leading to pavilions, surrounded by gnarled pine and wutong trees, swirling clouds and jagged rocks, the finely-polished and semi-translucent stone of a greenish-white tone with some russet inclusions, wood stand.
11.6cm (4½in) high (2).

Footnotes

Provenance : S. Marchant and Son, London, 25 June 1985

十八/十九世紀 青玉雕山水圖山子

來源: 於1985年6月25日購自倫敦S. Marchant and Son

This jade boulder is a fine example of the ability of the jade craftsman during the Qing Dynasty to convey in stone an image probably derived from painting. The rendering of the pagoda at the top of the cliffs, very possibly representing a temple or shrine, is particularly noteworthy for its fine architectural detail.
