Featured Help with Painted Porcelain Portrait Plaque

I first found it online as an engraving: Shepherd from Kolabria

 

Thanks to ALL for the fun and informative answers!

 

Oh, you didn't say what you were posting back there, so I didn't understand that this was an example of East Asian round eyes. I just saw and thought round eyes as a comparison. Thought she must be an actress or rock star, she's so pretty!

I didn't realize Richard Gere is European..? Thanks for letting me know.

I agree with this, thanks.

 

Thanks for showing your painting! It's been fun and educational.

 

She was a singer, Dutch but of Indonesian origin, with very Indonesian round eyes. She passed away about a year ago.
Indonesians have the same diversity of eye shapes as Europeans, but many have slightly slanted eyes.
One of my dear friends was pure Indonesian, part Sundanese, part Javanese. He had even bigger round eyes than the pretty singer.

He is of European origin, like the majority of Americans.

 

Thanks, AJ

 

Well, there were a number of German factories that made blanks like this, not just KPM. Hutschenreuther, for one, made a number. The subject is very common for these little plaques and often on brooches, too. Thanks, MOS for the origin! IMHO, this is better than average quality and agree it's not top flight stuff.

 

just for the record rugs are oriental not people - it use to be an acceptable term but it is not any longer

 

Ahhhh, but as a search term...for computers who are not easily offended.....it's still alive and well !!...

 

Thanks, Komo.

 

Yah, Rclinfti, I don't really care about political correctness. I've lived a lot of years without it hindering conversations thus far! I believe the description is the important part, no matter how un-eloquently it may be stated.
