A large and elegant white porcelain statuette depicting Guanyin, the Chinese goddess of compassion, standing serenely beside a fawn.
Dressed in flowing, finely modeled drapery and holding a basket of flowers, the deity is accompanied by a young deer, a symbol of purity, harmony, and longevity in Chinese tradition. This iconography evokes Guanyin's universal benevolence and her special connection with the living world.
Created in the style of the renowned white porcelain of Dehua, known as "Blanc de Chine," this sculpture captivates with the softness of its glaze, the quality of its modeling, and its particularly decorative character. The base, treated to imitate rock, contributes to the overall elegance.
A beautiful decorative and collectible piece showcasing the traditional production of the Dehua workshops.
