Antique Signed Vienna Style Porcelain Hand Painted Cabinet Plate after H. Zatzka
By Hans Zatzka
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A very fine antique Vienna style porcelain cabinet plate.
Entitled "Eingeheimer Auftrag", which translates in English as "A Secret Assignment".
Depicted in the central cartouche is an image of a young woman being attended to by a cherub/putti. The woman is seated at the edge of a garden and appears to be making a request of the cherub who is leisurely perched on the rail fence with a pensive look.
Signed to the lower right 'H. Zutzka'.
The rim of the bowl is richly decorated with two-toned raised gold decoration and gold jeweling on a light blue to turquoise ground.
Simply a top shelf antique cabinet plate...
