Provenance
Graham Slater Collection
Graham Slater noted that the figures on this dish likely represent actors David Garrick and Kitty Clive and that the bizarre tree between them is a stage prop. The couple certainly resemble contemporary theatrical scenes in their composition and costume. A closely related plate, where the scene is reversed is illustrated by Frank Britton, English Delftware in the Bristol Collection (1982) p.298, cat.19.23. Another smaller example from the S J McManus Collection was sold by Bonhams on 23 January 2015, lot 524.
