Description

A good Worcester scallop-edged plate c.1770, painted in the manner of Fidelle Duvivier with two brightly-coloured birds beneath a leafy tree, another in flight above, within a gilt dentil rim, 21cm.

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.
