Royal Vienna Beehive cobalt blue, heavilly gilded and jeweled plate with handpainted scene of a woman lighting a lamp with a candle. Artist signed F Wagner. Germany, circa 1900. After the 17th century original by Gerard Dou.<BR>Measures 9 1/2inches in diameter.<BR>The entire sloping border with rich cobalt blue background is heavilly gilded with raised scrolling and foliate patterns intersperced with gold, turquoise and white jewels. Superior quality workmanship and beauty from every aspect. The ground is handpainted with a well-known scene of a young woman lighting a lantern with a candle. The quality of the painting is outstanding. While the same scene has been copied on other plates, none can compare to the exquisitely fine brushstrokes and subtlety of this artist. It is signed F. WAGNER in red paint, lower left, below the elbow. The back of the plate has the Royal Vienne Beehive mark as well as a decorative mark in red with Das Madchen mit der Laterne Gerard Dou geb 1613 - gest 1675 Konigl Gemalde Gallerie Dresden.
