ABOUT PRODUCTID 19443
This Chinese figure of a fisherman or sage, carved in dense hardwood—most likely boxwood or rosewood—exemplifies the finesse of early 20th-century traditional craftsmanship. The piece exhibits a warm, richly reddish-brown hue with a glossy finish that accentuates the intricate carving work. The barefoot figure stands upon an openwork, rock-motif base, carrying a long fishing pole across his shoulder with two carefully rendered fish suspended from it, while a woven basket rests at his feet. Special attention is given to the generously sculpted sleeves, the expressive facial features, and the textural realism of the garments and beard—each detail demonstrating precise chisel work and a sense of balance. The overall composition is harmonious, marked by fluid lines and well-considered proportions. Age-related darkening in recesses, a uniform patina, and subtle natural crazing in the wood underscore the piece's authenticity and careful preservation. The state of preservation is good, with no damages or major signs of wear; the sculpture retains all its original elements and bears no traces of restoration or later intervention.This sculpture speaks in the measured, contemplative voice of old Asia, evoking the legend of Jiang Taigong—the
