ATTRIBUTED TO JEAN DENIS ATTIRET (WANG ZHICHENG 1702-1768)Portrait of a Young Prince thought to be Yonghuang (1728-1750)Oil on Korean paper, in beaded giltwood frame and glazed. 70.5cm (27 3/4in) high x 58.4cm (23in) wide.Footnotes:傳 王致誠（1702-1768） 年輕皇子肖像「或為永璜（1728-1750）」 紙本油畫 鏡框Provenance: Martyn Gregory, London, acquired in 1999Collection of John Keane (1931-2022)Martyn Gregory, London來源：倫敦古董商 Martyn Gregory，獲得於1999年 John Keane (1931-2022)舊藏倫敦古董商 Martyn GregoryPublished, Illustrated and Exhibited: Martyn Gregory, In the Wake of the Indiaman: catalogue 76, London, 2000, pp.28-29, no.38. 展覽著錄： Martyn Gregory，《In the Wake of the Indiaman: catalogue 76》，倫敦，2000年，第28-29頁，編號38Since the establishment of missions to China by the Jesuit Matteo Ricci in the late 16th century, missionaries had utilised their knowledge of Western technology to serve the Emperor. Among the most celebrated in the arts were Giuseppe Castiglione (郎世寧, 1688-1766), who worked as an artist at the Imperial Court from 1715 until his death in Beijing in 1766, and Jean-Denis Attiret (王致誠, 1702-1768), who reportedly executed 'more than two hundred portraits of persons of different ages and nations', including a 1754 portrait of the Qianlong Emperor. These artists were succeeded by others, notably Giuseppe Panzi, who entered the Emperor's service in 1773. During the British embassy's visit led by Lord Macartney in 1793, Panzi and the French Jesuit Louis de Poirot (1735-1814), who had joined the Emperor's service in 1771, were summoned to Jehol as portrait-painters, see L.Pfister, Notices biographiques et bibliographiques sur les Jésuites de l'ancienne mission de Chine, 1552-1773, Shanghai, 1954, pp.966-974, and J.L.Cranmer-Byng, 'Lord Macartney's Embassy to Peking in 1793 from Official Chinese Documents', Journal of Oriental Studies, Hong Kong., IV, 1-2, 1957-8, pp.150-151.The strongest case for the attribution of the present work comes from a careful study of the eight portraits of Dzungar Mongolian tribal chieftains within the collection of seventeen portraits of meritocratic officers in the Museum für Völkerkunde, Ostasienabt in Berlin. The attribution of these works has been subject to change over time. Initially Rasidonduk and Veit (1990) assumed that all the works were of the hand of Jean-Denis Attiret. However, this was proved false by Wang Ching-ling (2016) who noted the records of the Collection of Archives of the Imperial Household Department of the Qing dynasty stated Giuseppe Castiglione was the painter of the portrait of Dawaqi (-1759) from the set. Records also noted that paintings from the set were created by Giuseppe Castiglione and Ignaz Sichelbarth (艾啓蒙, 1708-1780) and others. Beyond this he provides a stylistic assessment of the works which is not altogether convincing. This is critiqued by Wang Youmin (2020) ('On the Oil Portraits of Qing Dynasty Dzungar Mongolian Tribal Chieftains Collected in Berlin', Journal of Gugong Studies, vol 20) but neither Wang is able to provide definitive attributions beyond the Dawaqi portrait. Aside from this portrait perhaps the most interesting work as a point of comparison is that of Che Ling (1697-1758) which Wang (2016) attributes to Jean-Denis Attiret and Wang (2020) attributes to Jean-Denis Attiret or Giuseppe Castiglione. The interest of this piece is that it is the closest stylistically to the present work. In particular the treatment of the eyes with a heavy outline to the upper edge, and a lightly positioned dot of white to the upper left quartile of the pupil. The brushwork is similarly pared back with well blended colours and shading. There is also a tendency in both paintings to enlarge the jawline beneath the sitter's right cheek, this is also observed in the Dawaqi portrait. The present sitter, unlike Che Ling, wears a conical hat, in common with six of the eight sitters in the group of works. The level of detail of the black brocade wrapped rim, where the gold detailing has been made out, is only present in the portrait of Dawaqi. Thus the present work shares characteristics with two of portraits but appears to be a distinct hand from the portrait of Dawaqi, being more consistent with the painting of Che Ling. As such this piece may be best attributed to Jean-Denis Attiret. Regarding the identity of the sitter there are various factors that lead us to his identity. First, it is apparent that the sitter must be a Royal Prince. His conical hat with red topknot (huang taizi xiji fu guan皇太子夏吉服冠) is recorded in the Huangchao li qitushi 皇朝禮器圖式 as designated for princely use. Furthermore, the pale whiteness of his skin is of a hue reserved royalty, see for example, for example in the Portraits of the Qianlong Emperor and His Twelve Consorts, in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art, in contrast to the more ruddy complexions of the eight Dzungar Mongolian tribal chieftains' portraits.Second, he must have been a young man at the time when his portrait was painted and third, he must have had sufficient status to have his portrait painted as a young man. Although our comparisons above date to around the year 1755, oil paintings were being produced as far back as 1745, the year of creation of the portrait of Huixian (1711-1745) (illustrated in China: the Three Emperors 1662-1795, cat no 96). It is also noted in letters by Amiot in 1754 that Jean-Denis Attiret engaged in portrait painting soon after his arrival in China (Giuseppe Castiglione: A Jesuit Painter at the Court of the Chinese Emperors, p.106). He arrived in China in 1737. This is important because the prince who appears to fit these criteria most closely is the Qianlong Emperor's first-born son, Yonghuang (永璜, 1728-1750). He is often depicted close to the Emperor directly beside his second son who died at the age of eight with a number of the portraits having been done posthumously. This includes the painting in the collection of the Palace Museum entitled Hongyi Watching Lotus Plants Whilst Playing the Qin (弘曆觀荷撫琴圖) attributed to Castiglione. Here the two sons are depicted behind the Emperor, with the older characteristically partially obscured behind a vertical pillar, the younger depicted posthumously. Another portrait entitled Qianlong Enjoying New Year Celebrations (乾隆帝歲朝行樂圖軸) thought to date to 1747 depicts the princes at the apparently slightly younger age of 19. The former portrait, the more naturalistic of the two compares favourably with the present portrait. There are similarities in the upper line of the eye, the curve of the nasal bridge, the jawline and curve of the cheek bones, the overall shape of the ear including the protruding antihelix. Whilst he died at the age of twenty-two it is also worth noting that he appeared in a number of portraits after his death as did his younger brother.The closeness of Yonghuang to the Qianlong Emperor is well noted. They appear in at least five group portraits together. Following Yonghuang's death the Emperor composed numerous poems eulogising his son.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
