No. 1490 "Adelaide Kept Everyone's Secrets But Her Own" Portrait Plate
A miniature portrait of Adelaide on an antique English Staffordshire (Allerton's?) pink lusterware plate with a traditional cross-hatch and rose sprig border, entitled "Adelaide Kept Everyone's Secrets But Her Own". Paired with a Chintz Indien frame from an 18th-century red, blue-grey, and ecru botanical Indian chintz fabric. The plate measures 7.75"; the frame measures 10" x 10”.
THE STORY: Inspired by literature, my portraits have novelistic titles that hint at the adventures of their heroines.
THE CHINA: Many of my paintings are set in antique saucers and dishes which not only work as unexpected frames but add a layer of historical narrative on top of the origin story. Each piece has a unique blend, so that some are more romantic, some more exotic, and some more otherworldly.
