Plate with a lady seated in front of a window c. 1840

This porcelain plate, created by the Königliche Porzellan Manufaktur around 1840, features a delicate portrait of a woman in a lavender gown. The scene is framed by a window, revealing a pastoral landscape beyond. The woman's serene expression and refined attire suggest a piece of romantic portraiture, popular in the 19th century. This plate, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies the artistry of German porcelain making during the Biedermeier period.
