A cast iron plaque with a portrait of King Wilhelm I of Württemberg

H 19.7, W 14.5 cm.
Wasseralfingen, first half 19th C., model attributed to Conrad Weitbrecht (1796 - 1836).

Conrad Weitbrecht (1796 - 1836), who was trained as a decorative painter and chaser, was hired as a modeller by the Wasseralfinger Hüttenwerk in 1823. His task was to adapt the factory's production to the court's Classically oriented taste. His successful work brought him numerous other courtly commissions and honours.
