The Marie Antoinette Flamingo Series takes it’s name from the classic vintage botanical image of the pink flamingo. The central image is from a portrait of Marie Antoinette when she was only 13. Painted in 1767 by Swedish-Austrian painter, Martin Van Meytens and sent to the Dauphin of France so that he could see his future bride. Vintage botanical roses, a mysterious all-seeing eye and two opals float in front of the Josef Kuba (JWK) porcelain plate called: “Bavarian Fragonard Love Story”. Circa 1930s, the Kuba pattern depicts charming vignettes of lovers in various poses of courtship, inspired by the famous French painter Jean-Honore Fragonard (1732 – 1806) whose late Rococo manner was noted for it’s hedonism.
These four plates create a mysterious and beautiful grouping when hung on a wall. Each plate also stands alone in it's unique beauty and complex design.
