Painted in polychrome in an airy, loose style and partially etched in gold. Painter's monogr. "B" with dat. (19)96, probably for Horst Bretschneider. Limited to 79/1996. monogr. "A" for studio porcelain of the Meissen porcelain manufactory. Centreboard mark. 44.5 cm x 45 cm. The decoration is reminiscent of the flower painting by Prof. Julius Eduard Braunsdorf. J. E. Braunsdorf (1841 - 1922) revolutionised Meissen flower painting at the end of the 19th century. He turned away from the traditional bouquet style in favour of an impressionistic, characteristic style with a penchant for free brushstrokes and soft, diffuse transitions. Subsequent generations of painters orientated themselves towards the Braunsdorf style and developed a wide range of variations in Meissen flower painting. See Jedding, Meissen Porcelain of the 19th and 20th Centuries, p. 144. A large porcelain wall plaque with roses, probably painted by H. Bretschneider. Crossed swords mark. Meissen. Circa 1996.
