His name and seal later became a brand often used on later pieces. It is probable that the present lot, inscribed with the name 'He Chun' (何春) refers to either a descendent or distant relative of He Chaozong and the He family. Compare with a similar figure of Guanyin seated on a rock, 18th century, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, (acc.no.55.111.84).
