19th Century KPM Porcelain Plaque, After Old Master Painting

About the Item

This fine KPM porcelain plaque depicts the biblical story of the expulsion of Hagar by Abraham. Abraham is shown bearded in a blue robe, as he casts away his mistress Hagar and her son Ishmael upon the instruction of his wife Sarah. Sarah watches on with her son Isaac, who is shown clutching at the robes of Abraham. The story is taken from the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament, and this particular treatment of the scene is after the Old Master painting by Adrien van der Werff (Dutch, 1659-1722). The treatment of the subject takes an unusual interpretation of the biblical story, in which Ishmael jeers at and taunts his half-brother Isaac, causing Sarah to demand his banishment. Here, however, the animosity is depicted amongst the adults only, and the young boys seem to look to one another wistfully as they part. The plaque is marked with the KPM sceptre to the reverse, and is set within an intricately detailed Rococo style giltwood frame. Measures Plaque: Height 24cm, width 18cm Frame: Height 53cm, width 50cm, depth 8cm.

  • 'Oriental Girl' German KPM Porcelain Plaque
    By KPM Porcelain
    Located in London, GB
    Orientalist style works became very popular in the 19th Century, and the tradition continued into the early 20th Century, when this fine porcelain plaque was produced. Manufactured by famed German firm KPM, the plaque was retailed in New York by Gilman Collamore & Co., who imported high-end works of porcelain and glass. The plaque still bears the retailer's label to the reverse reading 'Gilman Collamore & Co, Union Sq. NY'. The plaque is rectangular in shape, and portrays a young girl, swathed in rich, red draped clothing, reaching upward to give food to a white dove perched on a wire. The girl, her hair bound up in the Orientalist fashion, wears an armband as well as hoop earrings. The interior in which the scene is set is hung with luxurious textiles and decorated with gilt detailing. The plaque is housed in a giltwood frame and is marked to the reverse with the sceptre mark of KPM porcelain, together with the retailer's label. The reverse also bears a written inscription reading 'Orientalisches Mädchen / L. Sturm', the title translating to 'Oriental girl...
