Female allegorical figure representing Knowledge, Learning, or Enlightenment shown drawing the veil of Ignorance from her eyes and holding the illuminated Lamp of Knowledge, hand-painted porcelain oval plaque in a gilded frame with a red-velvet mat, Germany, ca. 1890; no signature or mark is visible. Numerous delicately-rendered details reveal evidence of a highly-skilled hand.

On porcelain plaque, a few small touch-ups to background; on frame, separation to upper-left-hand miter joint, with areas of scratching and wear to gilding.
