German Painting On Fired Porcelain “Fare Thee Well” By H. Koch
Titled “Fare Thee Well,” this enchanting late 19th-century German artwork captures a young couple in a moment of parting at the lakeshore. The gentleman gazes down upon the young maiden, hand held to his chest with a look of affection. The wide serene lake and lush trees diffused into the background express picturesque depth and dimension. The painting is beautifully rendered on kiln-fired porcelain, a laborious and delicate process that produces a depth of color after firing each layer of paint. Finally, a decorative painted and carved wood frame with gold matte completes this marvelous work of art.
