Lot Essay

The Last Cene by Juan de Juanes in the Prado, Madrid.
For the explanation of a KPM plaque with Fraureuth stencil marks see S. Fraas, Wachgeküsst, Deutsches Porzellanmuseum Hohenberg, 2003, p. 120 stating that KPM plaques were used as quality samples for the Fraureuth production; "Diese Belegstücke dienten daher vermutlich als Qualitätsvorlage für die Fraureuther produktion".
