Plate

Liborius Grue

Cleveland Museum of Art

The plate by Liborius Grue depicts a large scene in its center. A muscular, bearded man wearing a loincloth holds a large furry object. He stands on a rocky shore with trees behind him. A body of water with a distant ship is on the right. Three nude figures, two adults and a child, are on the right. One adult figure wears a blue cloth. The plate's border features a blue and yellow floral pattern with eight small cherubs. A white design with an inscription reading "POLIFEMO" is at the bottom. The plate has a dark background.
