Medium: Hand-painted on porcelain. Size (Image): 16 x 12 inches. Type: Painting – Porcelain Plaque. Subject: Seated Woman, Tambourine, Folk Costume. Tags: Reproduction, Winterhalter, 20th Century, Decorative Porcelain. A finely executed genre-style painted porcelain plaque, this mid-20th-century work is signed W. Margetson and reproduced after Franz Xaver Winterhalter or in his tradition. The portrait features a seated young woman in regional folk attire, posed with a tambourine in hand, surrounded by rich natural landscape and flowing garments. Her pink and white blouse, deep blue skirt, and floral headband evoke a romanticized Mediterranean or Alpine setting. The artist’s attention to fabric texture, posture, and soft lighting reflects the academic painting tradition, while imbuing the subject with warmth and grace. Executed on porcelain for a luminous finish, and set in an ornate giltwood frame, this piece is ideal for collectors of classical portraiture, decorative arts, or Winterhalter-inspired compositions.
