No. 2591 "Rosa Never Ever Ever Gave Up" Portrait Plate

Sale price$455.00

An oil portrait painting of Rosa on an antique porcelain saucer with a wreath of hand-painted flowers and gilt foliate designs and bands around the border. Entitled "Rosa Never Ever Ever Gave Up"; paired with a "Jardin des Thuilleries" frame from an 18th-century "vue d'optique" hand-tinted engraving of the Tuileries Gardens in Paris, where aristocrats strolled and exchanged "on-dits" not far from the Louvre Palace. The plate measures 5.75"; 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.
