拍品資料及來源

本像造工精妙,鎏金瑰麗,佛袍衣褶造型自然,寶相安詳。元代期間,藏傳佛教為宮廷宗教,新穎造像風格始於此時,而本像即屬元代傳統風格。 比較三件十四世紀初木刻版畫,為杭州一寺院特製,諸尊面帶微笑,身軀飽滿,寶座層疊,載於Heather Stoddard Karmay,《Early Sino-Tibetan Art》,沃明斯特,1975年,圖版 26、29、及30,反映當時西藏盛行風格,十五世紀早期藝匠,或以之為靈感。

本品另一特點,乃其《錢塘陳彥清造》款。陳彥清,自元末至十五世紀初期活躍於杭州。現存帶陳氏款識之例甚罕,比較一例,尺寸較大,出自Jas R. Herbert Boone收藏,售於紐約蘇富比1989年4月18/19日,編號150A。另比一例,鎏金銅真武像,帶陳彥清款,斷代 1439年,出自Robert Sonnenschein II收藏,現藏於芝加哥藝術學院,圖載於Stephen Little,《Taoism and the Arts of China》,柏克萊,2000年,圖版103;紐約大都會藝術博物館也有藏例,老子像,斷代 1438,圖見Daisy Patry Leidy及Donna Strahan,《Wisdom Embodied. Chinese Buddhist and Daoist Sculpture in the Metropolitan Museum of Art》,紐約,2010年,圖版38。
