Sir John Figgess had a distinguished career in Japan, latterly as Military Attaché and Counsellor for Information at the British Embassy in Tokyo; followed by Commissioner General for Britain at the World Exposition in Osaka, 1968-1970. In 1973 he joined Christie's. He was President of the Oriental Ceramic Society from 1987 to 1990 and presided over the joint OCS-British Museum Exhibition Porcelain for Palaces: The Fashion for Japan in Europe, 1650-1750. He gave ceramics to the British Museum, and authored various publications on Chinese and Japanese ceramics as well as lacquerwares.
This box likely portrays the Song dynasty scholar Zhou Dunyi (1017-1073). Known for his love of lotus flowers, depictions of Zhou Dunyi found popularity during the Yuan dynasty and continued into the Ming period when he was often portrayed with the scholars Wang Xizhi (303-361), Tao Yuanming (365-427) and Meng Haoran (689 or 691-740). Compare a painted lacquer tray, with related decoration of scholar by lakeside with four attendants, 16th century, in the Shanghai Museum, illustrated in In a Myriad of Forms: The Ancient Chinese Lacquers, Shanghai, 2018, no.162. A related lacquer box of this form but decorated on the top with dragons, also cyclically dated to 1610, is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, illustrated in J.C.Y.Watt and B.Brennan Ford, East Asian Lacquer: The Florence and Herbert Irving Collection, New York, 1991, no.53.
約翰·菲格斯爵士（Sir John Figgess）在日本度過了重要的職業生涯：先後擔任英國駐東京大使館武官及新聞參贊，並於1968至1970年間出任日本大阪萬國博覽會英國總代表。1973年加入佳士得拍賣行後，他於1987至1990年擔任東方陶瓷學會主席，期間主導策劃了與大英博物館聯合舉辦的《Porcelain for Palaces: The Fashion for Japan in Europe, 1650-1750》特展。其後，他捐贈了陶瓷收藏予大英博物館，並發表了多部關於中日陶瓷與漆器的專著。
此盒所繪人物應為北宋學者周敦頤（1017年-1073年）。周氏作為愛蓮者的形象自元代起廣為流傳，至明代更常與王羲之（303年-361年）、陶淵明（365年-427年）及孟浩然（689或691年-740年）等文人高士共同入畫。比較上海博物館藏一件十六世紀描金彩漆山水人物圖長方盤，繪高士攜四侍圖，其人物構圖與本拍品意趣相類，著錄於《千文萬華：中國歷代漆器藝術》，上海，2018年，編號162；又比較紐約大都會藝術博物館藏一件1610年款龍紋四方漆盒，見《East Asian Lacquer: The Florence and Herbert Irving Collection》，紐約，1991年，編號53。雖蓋面改飾龍紋，然器型規制如出一轍。
