Historismus - Wall plate - Porcelain, Copper

This lot presents a porcelain wall plate created most likely in the second half of 19th century in Western Europe. Handpainted by a professional painter with a portrait representing the bust of a short haired young lady with a feathered hat, the plate belongs to historicism current (often referred to as eclecticism) describing 19th-century movement that revived, combined, or imitated historical styles (Neo-Gothic, Neo-Renaissance, Neo-Baroque) to create new aesthetics. An intriguing trait of this graceful porcelain painting can be given by the fact that its character face features and its hair style could easily indicate a small boy portrait, while the low-cut clothing reveal a feminine presence. The item is in very good condition, with no damages or restorations, showing only a few minor dents of the embossed copper, while its metal surface has a pleasant consistent dark patina. Plate is sold with an incorporated metallic wire support for safely displaying it on a vertical surface (see penultimate picture). Detailed pictures are part of the description and can be used as an accurate reference.
