Lot Essay

The subject of Suzanne and the Old Men is considered apocryphal by some, but is included in the Book of Daniel (Dan 13, 19-24) by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. See Wilhelm Mrazek and Waltraud Neuwirth, Wiener Porzellan 1718 - 1864, Vienna, 1970, Farbtaf. XVI, cat. no. 686 for a similar charger dated 1909.
