The He He brothers

A pair of famille verte porcelain statues of two boys with bare feet standing on a plinth.

The boys represent the He He brothers; mythological twins, but originaly historical figures, that roamed the earth and did good deeds. Here they each hold a vase with a lotus flower and lotus leaf in their hands.

Kang Hsi (1662-1722). China, Jin de zhen.

Provenance: old collection made in the first half of the last century.
