About the Item

Condition Report:
Excellent
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.

A Short History...
The term Jugendstil, meaning "Young Style," was derived from the magazine Die Jugend and describes an art and design movement which took place in Germany from c.1896 through to c.1915. Taking place at the same time as the Art Nouveau movement, which was inspired by the natural world, Jugendstil was also heavily influenced by organic shapes but contrasted them with geometric forms resulting in very stylised designs. Important Jugendstil jewellery designers were Carl Herman, Meyle and Mayer...
