Details of the wide eyes are applied in black paint and the lips are painted in red. The servant is depicted with broad shoulders, a braid of hair reaching down to his neck and a round face. His hands joined in front of the belly are covered with a red cloth. He is dressed in a knee-length green Qing style coat, which has the left collar overlapping the right one, and a long red undergarment with a stand-up collar. The clothes have walking splits on the back side. The man is wearing black Qing-style shoes. The sculpture is integrally fired on a square plinth. The use of tomb figures was a widespread practice in China since the Han dynasty (208 BC-AD 220) and came to an end in the Ming period. Earthenware figures decorated with green glazes were invented in the Tang period (618-906 AD), together with a new type of three-coloured pottery in green, amber and straw-white colours. Also in the Tang period, tomb figures were positioned on a plinth. This figure creates a mix of styles of the Han, Tang and Qing periods.Provenance: - 5th April 2002 from Jörg Magener , Zurich , Switzerland , The buying price was 3.200 CHF- 2021 bought at Hardt Auctions International , " The Hof Collection of Fine Art" The Hof Collection looks back on 30 years of collectorship in the field of Chinese and south-east Asian art.
