Whimsical Ceramic Scenic Plate Signed Leslie Johnson

About the Item

An exemplary late Victorian or Edwardian framed scenic plate, hand-decorated by artist Leslie Johnson, depicting a jester flirting with a young woman. Signed to lower right by Johnson, who was famous and sought after for his historical portraits. Johnson was a master painter at Doulton producing some of the finest ceramic painting of the early 20th century. Interestingly he was known for flowing romantic images of girls in the Art Nouveau style. Here he has turned his hand to something altogether more whimsical but retaining the detail and discipline he was noted for right down to the jesters mock scepter.
