EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning "Figure of a reclining stag" created around 1670 in Japan. The porcelain sculpture, now housed at the Ashmolean Museum in the University of Oxford, UK, is believed to have been made for the export market. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this artwork exhibits hand-moulded features and polychrome overglaze enamels. The figure's association with various historical figures and entities adds another layer of intrigue. It is linked to the Dutch East India Company (VOC), which operated from 1602 to 1799 and played a significant role in trade between Europe and Asia during that time. Additionally, it is connected to the Kakiemon workshops established in the mid-17th century. Measuring approximately 17.2 x 21 x 11.5 cm, this delicate piece exemplifies Japanese craftsmanship from Kyushu's Arita kiln-sites in Saga prefecture—an area renowned for its ceramics production since ancient times. The reclining stag figurine symbolizes nature's beauty and grace while showcasing the skillful artistry of its creators. Its presence evokes images of serene landscapes where deer roam freely—a testament to both Asian culture and artistic expression. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' fine art finder service, viewers can appreciate this exquisite work without commercial constraints or limitations on its use—allowing us all to immerse ourselves fully in its timeless allure.
