In the Art Nouveau style, the image presents a young woman crowned with ivy and draped in an orange dress that falls languidly around her shoulders. With her direct yet gentle gaze and one hand lifted to her dark hair, she embodies the beauty and sensuality of the original composition. Herkomer’s \u003cem\u003eIvy\u003c\/em\u003e began as an experimental print created through the artist’s own process, known as “Herkomergravure.” Based on the monotype, his technique allowed for multiple impressions while retaining the soft tonal transitions and spontaneous, painterly effects associated with monotypes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Founded in 1763, KPM became one of Europe’s foremost porcelain manufactories under the patronage of Frederick II of Prussia. Its plaques were prized for their smooth, luminous surfaces, which allowed artists to achieve fine detail and rich color. In this plaque, that refined surface translates the tonal subtlety of Herkomer’s print into a vivid, highly sophisticated portrait. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Impressed “KPM” with scepter mark (en verso) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Plaque: 13\" high x 10 1\/4\" wide (33.02 x 26.04 cm)\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 17 1\/2\" high x 14 1\/2\" wide x 2\" deep (44.45 x 36.83 x 5.08 cm)","brand":"M.S.
