Lot Essay

The painted scenes on this vase are after Gabriel Metsu's 1661 painting and Gerard Dou's 1665 . Both of these works are in the collection of the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin. Plaque painters working at the Meissen factory and on Berlin (K.P.M.) porcelain in the 19th century took inspiration from Old Master works that they encountered in German muesums and galleries at the time.
