Decorative Dish In Fine Porcelain, Mounted In A Bronze Frame, Niii

Elegant hand-painted polychrome porcelain dish decorated with the portrait of a young woman in profile facing the viewer. The figure is depicted with great finesse: delicate complexion, braided hair, hat adorned with white and green feathers, garment with a high collar and red and white stole.
The pictorial work testifies to a high-quality academic execution of the 19th century, in the tradition of Renaissance court portraits.
The circular porcelain medallion is mounted in a splendid frame, in gilt and silver bronze, finely chased. The frame, square in shape, has floral and foliate ornaments at the four corners, a central circular decoration framing the portrait, and an upper pediment with an openwork Rococo-style motif, decorated with acanthus leaves and arabesques. The whole rests on small decorative feet, allowing both a stable presentation as an easel on a piece of furniture or fireplace, or fixed to the wall.
