AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant decorative porcelain plate Vienna, characterized by a refined portrait of a feminine figure depicting the famous French painter Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (1755–1842).
In the center of the plate is depicted the artist in a dark dress, with a wide white ruff and headdress, executed with great attention to the details of the face, hairstyle and clothing. The portrait echoes the iconography of Vigée Le Brun's famous self-portraits, a painter particularly appreciated for her portraits of European aristocracy.
The central composition is framed by a rich decorative band in shades of aquamarine, turquoise, white and gold, with floral motifs, arabesques and neoclassical-style ornaments. The presence of gilding is important, highlighting both the outer edge and the circular frame around the portrait.
The contrast between the turquoise and pastel green background and the gilding gives the piece a particularly elegant appearance typical of Viennese decorative production.
Era: late 19th – early 20th century
Technique: polychrome porcelain painted with gilded decoration.
