No. 2253 "Mathilda Was Not Above a Little Mischief" Portrait Plate
An oil portrait painting of Mathilda wearing a mask in a brown dress on an antique French Haviland & Co. Limoges plate with a black and gold gilt border with a delicate Medieval feel, measuring 7.5". Entitled "Mathilda Was Not Above a Little Mischief".
THE STORY: Inspired by literature, my portraits have novelistic titles that hint at the adventures of their heroines (and sometimes heroes). In this mini-collection of masked portraits, the directness of gaze suggests a willingness to share secrets, and the masks suggest balls, trysts, and clandestine escapades.
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.
