拍品資料及來源

此田黃留皮雕「坐獅觀音」像,雕刻精緻傳神,署款「尚均」。周彬,字尚均,福建漳州人,乃十七世紀著名雕刻家。方宗珪曾在《壽山石誌》中道,周彬「尚以中國畫寫意法,深刀刻山水、花卉、松竹等景物」,又指其「向為藝界所器重」,福州,1982年,頁77-78。尚均之作,除見有印章,還有一系列的羅漢雕像,其尺寸較小,多坐於精工細刻的墊枕或石上,其中僅部分存世。作例可見 Gerard Tsang 及 Hugh Moss,前述出處,編號44。另可對比香港蘇富比於2012年4月4日售出之羅漢坐像(編號136),其手抱幼獅,台座刻飾蓮瓣紋。其他周彬作品還包括北京國家歷史博物館藏石雕羅漢像,錄於《中國文物精華大全:金銀玉石卷》,香港,1994年,頁83,圖版242;北京故宮博物院藏田黃彌勒佛像,載於《中國美術全集》,卷6,北京,1988年,圖版158;以及香港邦漢斯2011年5月25日售出之白芙蓉石雕彌勒臥佛像(編號208)。

據底部刻文,此品乃門士潘生於乙卯(1795年)送贈劉墉(1719-1805年)之禮。劉墉為清初名臣,先後出任多個要職,官至禮部尚書,又曾兼署兵部尚書,為官清廉,享有盛譽。劉亦擅書,墨濃骨健,才高氣清,屬當時最出色且極富影響力之書法名家。另有一犀角羅漢坐像,底部題識與此類,見 Gerard Tsang 及 Hugh Moss,前述出處,編號159。
