This small porcelain plaque, created in Vienna between 1720 and 1730, features a delicate floral design. Painted in red, pink, and green enamels on a white ground, the plaque showcases a stylized branch laden with blossoms. The composition evokes the popular Chinoiserie style, which was prevalent in European art during the 18th century. This style, influenced by Chinese art and aesthetics, emphasized intricate floral motifs and a sense of delicate beauty. This small but exquisite plaque exemplifies the mastery of Viennese porcelain production during this period, showcasing the influence of Eastern artistic trends in European decorative arts.
