The plaque is signed C. Müller at the lower right, indicating the hand of a skilled studio artist working within the German decorative arts tradition. Such porcelain plaques were produced for the refined domestic and ecclesiastical market, combining painterly technique with the durability and luminosity of fired enamel surfaces.
The painting is presented in an elaborate gilt stucco frame of the period, richly ornamented with scrolling foliate motifs that enhance the devotional and decorative presence of the work.
