A modern representation of Vilmos Zsolnay, not the founder (his brother was, in 1853) but the primary mover of Zsolnay Porcelain in its heyday. His likeness is surrounded by tiles glazed with iridescent eosin, for which Zsolnay is famous to this day. Another example of eosin can be seen here: http://www.pbase.com/helenpb/image/130690299
