The Details...
Constructed from 9ct gold, this pendant features an oval porcelain plaque hand-painted with a miniature portrait. The reverse of the plaque is signed by the artist. Their name is difficult to decipher due to ageing. However, their initials appear to be L and M. It is dated 1876. The piece features a bail, so that it can be worn as a pendant. It also features a fastening mechanism, so that it may be worn as a brooch. The pin is attached to the brooch with a tube hinge and the brooch fastens with a traditional safety catch. The piece measures 5.5cm x 4.5cm.
A Short History...
Whilst the portrait in this piece may appear to depict a young girl with windswept hair, it is actually a portrait inspired by a painting by German artist Gustav Carl Ludwig Richter (1861-1897) entitled 'Neapolitan Fisher Boy'. In the painting, Richter shows a boy with short billowing black hair, an open shirt and jewellery, as can be seen in this piece. Hand-Painted porcelain plaques (most notably by the makers KPM) were made in Germany re-creating Richter's famous work, therefore this piece is likely to have originated in Germany too.
