Hand-Painted Porcelain Medallion — “Junger Neapolitaner”

Sale price$250.00

A finely hand-painted porcelain portrait medallion plaque depicting a young Neapolitan boy in the romantic style of the 19th century. The subject, titled “Junger Neapolitaner” (German for “Young Neapolitan”), is rendered with remarkable softness and realism, echoing the works of Gustav Karl Richter (1823–1884). The portrait captures the boy’s thoughtful expression, dark curls, and warm Mediterranean palette with exquisite detail.

Set within its original brass frame with engraved foliate border and hanging loop, this miniature exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of late-19th to early-20th-century German porcelain painting. Elegant displayed on a small easel or within a cabinet of portrait miniatures.

Origin: Germany, late 19th to early 20th century (after Gustav Karl Richter).
Material: Hand-painted porcelain plaque, brass frame.
Dimensions: 3" x 2.5".
Condition: Minor age wear to frame; porcelain surface pristine with vibrant coloration.
