Description
An English porcelain plate early 19th century, the well painted with Edwin and Angelina, the sage leading the disguised Angelina by the hand through woodland, within a wide gilt band to the cavetto, the rim with a continuous floral design, titled in red to the underside 'Edwin and Angelena [sic]', 20.7cm.
The decoration appears to have been adapted from Walter Stephens Lethbridge's painting after the ballad by Oliver Goldsmith, written for the Countess of Northumberland.
