it is a large porcelain panel and the subject is very funny, romantic and almost naughty. perhaps a sailor a Greek sailor is on the start and his boat seems to be waiting for him on the left side of the painting, next to him stands a beautiful young woman richly dressed and wearing a mask to hide her face.
she seems determined to retain this sailor.
in the 18th century women portrayed with a mask were often associated with courtesans or women with light customs, here we can ask the question, why thus hide the face?
the subject is really charming and entertaining, the colors when cooked are superb and the whole is very decorative!
a very pretty table on porcelain of rather unusual dimensions.
