Description
Marked AR on the back for Adriaa[e]n van Rijsselberg[h], the 'De Grieksche A' workshop, Delft, ca. 1701 or possibly 1713 to 1735.
The current dish shows important similarities to a number of plates and dishes with a Commedia del'Arte theme, but the inscription here reads 'Le Roy de Maroc, no. 18', the design possibly after a late 17th C. engraving of Mulai Ismael, Sultan of Morocco. (link)
Ref.: Aronson, inv. nr. D1425, for a plate depicting Scaramouche, also marked for the same painter, and also bearing a similar inscription in the lower section of the central medallion. (link)
