Plaques and dishes with blue painted scenes in polychrome frames were popular between 1740 and 1780. The frames are in French Régence or Rococo styles and can be executed with abundant ornamentation. Gallant or courteous scenes are, together with landscapes and biblical themes, the most painted decorations. In many cases gallant scenes are based on graphical examples, such as from the German designer and printmaker Johann Esaias Nilson (1721-1788). Frequently they depict allegories like the Twelve Months, the Four Seasons, the Four Elements or the Five Senses. Of this plaque the exact graphical example has not been found. less
