Lot Essay

Gottfried Emanuel Schickert is recorded as having done piecework for the Berlin KPM factory from 1763, and he later joined Meissen in 1776 where he worked until 1781. At the time this plaque was painted he was presumably an independent hausmaler. Another signed and dated plaque painted in Dresden in 1775 with Danaë and the golden shower was sold by Christie's, London, on 14 July 2006, lot 113.
