No. 2554 "Beatrix Let No Challenge Go Unanswered" Portrait Plate
An oil portrait painting of Beatrix in a yellow spencer with an arrow in her hair. on an antique French Limoges porcelain plate with a deep cobalt blue-black border and copious gold gilt overlay, entitled "Beatrix Let No Challenge Go Unanswered". Paired with a frame from a 19th-century wallpaper of an equestrian hunt scene through a woodland landscape. The plate measures 5.25"; the frame measures 8.25" x 8.25".
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.
THE FRAMES: In addition to giving them greater significance, wall impact, and square practicality, the complementary images on these frames add yet another layer of historical resonance. Taken from early maps, gravures, wallpapers, and domino papers, they are printed with a state-of-the-art giclee printer using archival inks, heavy paper, specialty glue, wood bases, velvet backs, and hanging hardware. The plates are mounted with wire-spring holders and can be removed to be hung by themselves.
