Chinese verte-imari

Although these plates are commonly known as 'Governor Duff plate', there is still discussion about the subject:
An old view is that the plate depicts Louis XIV and madame de Maintenon.
An other view is that the plate depicts a Dutch Frisian couple in traditional costume.
Recently it is discussed that the couple is actually Jewish out of Frankfurt based on German existing prints. However, authors such as M. Breudeley and D.F Lunsingh Scheurleer states that the couple must be Dutch! Judge yourself!
