KPM (Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin)
Circa 1890
An auburn-haired beauty crowned with clementine leaves gazes outward from this finely painted KPM porcelain plaque by L. Schinzel. Based on Conrad Kiesel’s celebrated composition Clementine, Schinzel’s interpretation captures the sitter’s luminous complexion, flowing hair and richly detailed teal and gold dress with remarkable delicacy. Set against a softly atmospheric background, the portrait reflects the refined beauty and meticulous finish for which both Kiesel and the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin were renowned.
Kiesel was especially admired for elegant portraits of women rendered with exceptional polish and sensitivity. Here, the sitter’s graceful pose, idealized features and classical foliage lend the composition a romantic, timeless quality. Schinzel translates these qualities beautifully to porcelain, using the smooth surface to achieve subtle tonal transitions in the sitter’s skin, hair and richly patterned costume.
Founded in 1763 under the patronage of Frederick the Great, KPM became one of Europe’s foremost porcelain manufactories and earned particular distinction for its finely painted plaques during the 19th century. Portrait subjects after important contemporary paintings allowed KPM artists to demonstrate extraordinary precision and painterly skill. Dating to circa 1890, this plaque exemplifies the technical refinement and sophisticated subject matter that made KPM portrait plaques so highly regarded.
