Blanc De Chine Guanyin Sculpture, Qing Dynasty

White-glazed porcelain statue of Guanyin, depicted in a royal relaxation pose.
Note the two different glazes, one cracked (for the clothing), the other not.
This figure is made by Su Xuejin (1869–1919), one of the most talented porcelain artists in Dehua active in the late 19th century to early 20th century. His sculptures often feature meticulous details and are full of life energy. He was founder of the Yunyu cizhuang, a porcelain studio focus on making regilious figurines following the style of Ming dynasty master potters.
Inscribed on the back "bo ji yu ren".
I find (but this is only my opinion) that her face exudes both a sense of great gentleness and quietness, which provide a certain soothing.
A small chip in the dress, on the front.
China, very late 19th century.
