Object Description
This beautiful KPM porcelain plaque replicates an extremely famous painting of Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the celebrated 19th century Prussian Queen.
The subject of this portrait is the Duchess Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1776-1810), the famed Queen consort of Prussia and the wife of King Frederick William III (1770-1840). Louise was popular among her subjects and was famed, in particular, for negotiating with Napoleon following the war of 1807. Here she is shown looking powerful, majestic and determined, and standing on the steps of the Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin, official residence of the Prussian royalty.
