Elegant pair of Chinese carved soapstone figures depicting a female court lady and a bearded male immortal or scholar, each standing atop an intricately carved openwork base. The figures are finely detailed with flowing robes, delicate facial features, and naturalistic drapery, accented by carved flowering branches climbing alongside each figure. Executed in soft celadon-green soapstone with warm russet inclusions, these sculptures exemplify the traditional Chinese art of stone carving and make an attractive decorative pair for display.
