Freye appears at the bottom left, which may attribute the work to Georg Hermann Freye (1844-1921), a Dresden artist known primarily for his religious and historical works. This genre scene draws on subjects and styles from 17th- and 18th-century Dutch painting. Set in a private home, it depicts a family meal, with the stern father speaking to his more light-hearted son, under the smiling and complicit gaze of his mother. The work is presented in a period frame. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
