Large rectangular glazed porcelain plaque depicting two women in a Middle Eastern tent interior mourning over a fallen figure, with two leopards nearby.
The plaque in full, the tent interior rendered edge to edge.

Description

A large glazed porcelain plaque signed by the artist Joe E. Heinz and dated 1902, measuring approximately 22 × 14.25 × 0.25 inches. The scene is set in a Middle Eastern tent interior: two women grieving over a fallen figure, accompanied by two lifeless leopards, the setting built up with textured backgrounds and atmospheric depth.

The plaque is likely a unique or limited-edition piece. The exact process is unclear, though the smooth, glossy finish suggests fine overglaze painting or transfer printing, both common at the period. The glazing has preserved the image handsomely for over a century.

It suits collectors of Orientalist art, porcelain plaques, and early twentieth-century European decorative art, and is ready for framing or direct wall mounting.
