PORCELAIN PLAQUE WITH A GENRE SCENE “CARD SHARPS” KPM, BERLIN, TURN OF THE 19TH–20TH CENTURIES

PORCELAIN PLAQUE WITH A GENRE SCENE “CARD SHARPS” KPM, BERLIN, TURN OF THE 19TH–20TH CENTURIES

An exquisite porcelain plaque, finely decorated with delicate polychrome painting depicting a dramatic genre scene of a card game. The composition is inspired by a work of the French Baroque master Valentin de Boulogne (1591–1632), known for his emotionally charged Caravaggesque scenes. The moment captures the tension of the game: one player secretly hides a card in an act of deception, while his opponent watches closely. In the background, a third figure—a prompter—whispers instructions from the shadows. The use of chiaroscuro adds volume and atmosphere, echoing the influence of Caravaggio’s school.The painterly skill of Georg Nußmann, an artist of the KPM manufactory, is revealed in the realistic rendering of fabric textures, expressive facial features, and subtle color gradations. The painting elevates the porcelain to the realm of fine art, evoking the spirit of Baroque masters.Marks:Impressed sceptre mark with KPM initials, mark “Sz”, model number 237–158, corresponding to the Royal Porcelain Manufactory (KPM), circa 1901.Dimensions:Plaque: 16 × 23.5 cmWith frame: Height: 34 cm, Width: 41.5 cm, Depth: 7 cmCondition: Good condition, without restorations or damage.Provenance: Germany, Berlin, early 20th century.
