No. 2590 "Louisa Believed Firmly in the Great Perhaps" Portrait Plate

Sale price$455.00

An oil portrait painting of Louisa on an antique English Johnson Bros. saucer with a wreath of roses and gilt bands around the border. Entitled "Louisa Believed Firmly in the Great Perhaps"; paired with a "Gallerie de Vaux Hall" frame from a French, 18th-century gravure of the entrance hall to the delightful and slightly notorious English pleasure gardens which provided the setting for fireworks displays, balloon rides, and reckless, secretive trysts in the garden groves. The plate measures 5.9"; 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.
