Description
RUSSIA A circular porcelain plate with polychrome decoration, featuring in the centre a scene painted after the work by Valery Ivanovich Jacobi (1834–1902) entitled ‘The Ice House ’ (1878), signed and dated in Cyrillic in the bottom right-hand corner ‘V. Novitskaya. / 1893’, framed by two circular cartouches, one at the top depicting a peacock displaying its tail on a gilded background and one at the bottom inscribed in Cyrillic ‘The Ice House’ in Gothic script, set within a rich border of gilded interlacing motifs and foliage friezes in the Neo-Russian style on a blue and red background. In a circular wooden frame. Hand-numbered on the reverse in black ‘No. 28’. The design was painted by V. P. Novitskaya, a pupil in 1893 and subsequently a teacher at the School of the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of the Arts in St Petersburg from 1900 to 1907. Diameter 50 cm. History This plate appears to have been produced as part of the curriculum at the School of the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of the Arts in St Petersburg, where porcelain painting was taught in the late 19th century. Given its subject, based on a work by Jacobi, and the richness of its decoration, it appears more to be a student’s or graduation piece than a factory-produced item. V. P. Novitskaya went on to teach at this same school from 1900 to 1907.
