Published
Kapoor Galleries, Arcane Masters, 2019, cat. 21.
Provenance
Private European Collection, acquired in the 1980s–1990S
Kapoor Galleries, New York
The stupa nestled within his piled chignon marks this bodhisattva as Maitreya, the buddha of the age to come, who here inclines toward the viewer with a smile of quiet benevolence. His regalia is worked in inlaid silver and copper, the metals catching and leading the eye down the length of the necklace, across the modelled chest and into the incised folds of the dhoti. The naturalism of the body—its softness, its sensuous ease—belongs unmistakably to the late Pala idiom of eastern India in the 11th and 12th centuries, when the human form was rendered with a suppleness rarely equalled. The gesture is the entry's quiet surprise: rather than holding both hands in the turning of the wheel of the law, or letting the right fall open across the knee, Maitreya lifts his right hand before his chest while the left descends to rest upon the lotus base—an unusual and arresting variation on the familiar type.
For comparison, see a Pala bronze Maitreya formerly in the John and Berthe Ford Collection (Pal, , 2001, pp. 106–107, no. 43), and another formerly in the Lahiri Collection (Christie's, New York, 15 March 2016, lot 59). Compare also a Maitreya formerly in the Nyingjei Lam Collection (Bonhams, New York, 23 September 2020, lot 604), whose base is set with the same short, plump lotus petals seen here.
