A Johann Maresch Musterschutz polychrome relief plaque, depicting an interior genre scene. The circular plaque features three figures in 17th-18th century style attire within an arched setting. One figure is shown playing a stringed instrument, another holding a glass, and a third, a seated woman, observes. The piece is crafted from a molded material, likely plaster, bisque, or a composition, with hand-painted details. It is presented within a black circular frame with a gold inner rim. The reverse of the plaque reveals the unglazed, bisque-like material and bears impressed markings including “JM 3”, “1”, “6235”, and “MUSTERGESCHUTZ,” which translates from German as “Design Protected.”
Framed Diameter: 13 inches (33 cm)
