Large Kpm Porcelain Plate, “the Woman With The Candle”

KPM Porcelain Painting – Portrait of a Young Woman

An elegant decorative painting on a KPM (Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin) porcelain plate, depicting a young woman wearing a white dress adorned with ruffles and an elegant headpiece. She is depicted holding a lit candle, while the dark background highlights her face and silhouette, creating a striking contrast between light and shadow.

The work stands out for the delicate and extremely detailed modeling of the face, the subtle nuances of the skin tones, and the meticulous attention to detail in the clothing and fabrics. The dark background lends depth and intensity to the portrait, while the light from the candle serves as the central element of the composition.

KPM porcelain is associated with one of Europe’s most prestigious porcelain manufacturers, the Royal Porcelain Manufactory of Berlin (Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin), renowned for the high quality of its porcelain and the finesse of its porcelain painting.
