Description

A good Worcester scallop-edged plate c.1770, probably painted by Fidelle Duvivier with a brightly-coloured bird beneath a leafy tree, another in flight above, within a gilt dentil rim, 18.7cm.

This manner of bird painting has long been attributed to the Mons Soqui painter, but recent comparisons have been made to the painting of Fidelle Duvivier which may prompt a reattribution.
