A late 19th Century hand painted KPM type porcelain plaque with a scene of a partially undressed lady holding a peacock feather fan and wearing red Persian slippers, she sat with a lute or mandolin by her side and an incense burner, all in the style of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, indistinctly signed and dated **** 1882, framed, the reverse with indistinct ink note, visible size 12cm x 19cm.

Condition report
The plaque is all in good order with no losses or wear to the enamel decoration. The frame is in our opinion contemporary with the plaque and does show some minor rubbing and wear to the silk velvet covering. In terms of size the visible area of the plaque is 12 by 19 as mentioned in the description. If you turn the plaque over the internal measurement of the card inner to the edge of the frame measures 22.5cm by 16cm indicating that the plaque could be slightly larger. It has certainly been in this frame for many years.
