Berlin KPM Hand Painted Porcelain Plaque, 'The Expulsion of Hager'

About the Item

A Berlin KPM hand painted porcelain plaque, 'The Expulsion of Hager', signed l/r, in an Art Nouveau frame. The plaque bears a KPM scepter mark to the reverse, Late 19th century Measures: Plaque 10.5" L x 8.25" W Framed 13" L x 11" W This porcelain plaque is decorated after a painting, 'The Expulsion of Hagar', by 17th century artist Adrien van der Werff (Dutch, 1659-1722). It depicts a well-known scene from the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament, in which Abraham banishes his concubine Hagar and her son Ishmael after they become involved in a dispute with Abraham's wife, Sarah, and their son Isaac. The plaque shows Abraham casting Hagar and Ishmael out, as Sarah and Isaac watch on. Van der Werff's painting is notable for elaborating an unusual interpretation of the story: that the quarrel was not between the children, but the adults. In the commonly-told Biblical version of the story, Ishmael mocks Isaac at a celebration, which leads to Sarah demanding that Hagar and Ishmael be sent away. In this scene, however, Isaac is shown offering his cloak to Ishmael, and Ishmael is shown turning back not to his father Abraham but to his brother Isaac. Adriaen van der Werff was an accomplished Dutch painter of portraits and erotic, devotional and mythological scenes. KPM, Konigliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (German, founded 1763)
