A touching antique oval plaque featuring a full-length portrait of a little boy dressed in a double-breasted coat, a cap, and Mary Jane shoes. The subject stands next to a small pedestal table, in a studio composition with a pinkish sepia tone. Two perforations allowed this photoceramic to be directly attached to a memorial monument. The portrait is surrounded by a fine gold border and bears a hardly legible studio signature at the bottom.
✦ Estimated period: circa 1900-1920 ✦ Dimensions: approx. 15 × 10.5 cm ✦ Material: Porcelain ✦ Condition: good overall condition, wear to the gold trim, soiling and minor superficial alterations, dark marks around the upper hole
This antique child's funeral photo on porcelain is a poignant memento and a unique piece for a collection of antique portraits or funerary art.
