清十八世紀 白玉「仕女」立像

carved standing, dressed in a long flowing robe with ample sleeves cascading in loose folds and fastened at the chest with a ribbon, her face detailed with a gentle smile, her finely incised hair tied up in two curling chignons, clutching a branch of lingzhi in her left hand and carrying a basket of peonies on her right shoulder, the smoothly polished stone of an even white tone slightly tinged to celadon, carved wood stand

There is a small 3 mm nick to the front of the bottom edge of her robe, but otherwise the figure is in very good condition with a couple of discreet natural veins and small milky inclusions on the reverse cleverly used in the carving. The actual colour is quite close to the catalogue illustration.
