French Porcelain Hand Painted Pictoral Plate, 19th Century

An unusual French hand painted porcelain portrait plate, circa 1860 of a beautiful French girl, barefoot, spinning yarn onto a bobbin. The figure is dressed in provincal costume, and poses amidst a lovely pastoral scene.  The artist has signed the plate on the right bottom, though readable it is hard to decipher the handwritting.  The plate bears an unusual backstamp of a heraldric lion with shield and banner, several impressed hallmarks.  There is a manufacturers name, but it is obliterated.
