Exceptional lithopane with children caught fishing with their dog. Probably German and French, 19th century.
4inches wide. 4 5/8inches high.
Excellent quality workmanship. Two little children, their shoes (showing holes underneath) thrown off have been caught fishing illegally by a policeman, sword hanging at his side, while he writes a citation. Behind them is the sign in German, telling them that fishing is not allowed. Their little dog waits patiently by. A pile of clothes and books lies on the lower right, lower left and background have fantastic detailed plants and landscape. The boy holds his fishing rod while his little sister cries. The subtlety of the detail achieved is astonishing.
The porcelain has impressed factory marks at the back and the date, 1894.
A French gilt bronze hook has been attached (for hanging) with Paris Depose and Lithopane parts France? inscribed under the hook.
Condition is very good.
