Plaque of a Beautiful Young Lady

A vision of timeless elegance, this exquisite KPM porcelain plaque captures the delicate beauty of a young woman in profile. Her soft features are accentuated by flowing chestnut locks, adorned with a dark ribbon, lending a sense of understated grace. Draped in a luminous off-the-shoulder gown, she exudes refinement, with a single strand of pearls resting against her collarbone. A delicate hydrangea bloom, nestled at her décolletage, adds a poetic touch, while the rich, gradient background transitions from deep teal to soft luminescence, enhancing the depth and dimension of the piece.

As a testament to the masterful artistry of Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (KPM), this plaque reflects the German tradition of capturing beauty through the porcelain medium. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, KPM’s plaques were highly coveted, often portraying idealized figures inspired by neoclassical and romantic influences. Their unparalleled craftsmanship in hand-painted porcelain created works that rivaled traditional oil paintings in both depth and detail.

Encased in an opulent, gilded Rococo-style frame, this piece embodies the height of European luxury and refinement. Its rich, decorative border enhances the artwork’s inherent sophistication, making it a striking display piece. Whether as an addition to a distinguished collection or as a singular statement of classic beauty, this KPM plaque offers an enduring connection to the artistry and elegance of a bygone era.
