Exquisite antique painting on porcelain plaque signed Sontag. The painting depicts a beautiful woman with dark brown hair almost gypsy looking in her clothing. The back of the plaque is marked Made in Germany. It is also titled and signed in a blue glaze on the back. It is mounted in a beautiful custom frame. There is a tiny area of paint loss between the border and the lady's face. I believe an experienced restorer could make it perfect. The plaque measures 6 inches high by 4 1/2 inches wide. The frame measures 11 1/2 inches high by 9 3/4 inches wide. The painting on porcelain plaque has tremendous depth. The quality of this painting is unsurpassable. The woman looks so alive that you can almost hear her breathing. Sontag is considered one of the best realism painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His specialty was paintings on porcelain. Guaranteed to please as are all our items. (Item #70280)
