La Statuette Thang, Mandchoukuo
Description
"La Statuette Thang, Mandchoukuo" (1956) depicts a Tang-dynasty statuette — a Chinese ceramic figure from the Tang period (618–907 CE) — in the context of Manchuria. Tang ceramics, with their distinctive three-color glaze (sancai) and their elegant figures of court ladies, horses, and camels, were highly prized by collectors throughout East Asia. Jacoulet's print of the statuette suggests his engagement with Chinese material culture filtered through the collecting world of Japan's continental territories.
