The Plate by Jean Limousin shows a round white plate. The center depicts a landscape scene with a blue sky, green grass, trees and people. The people are dressed in historic clothing and are gathered around hay piles. A town-like structure is in the background. A black and gold border around the landscape scene includes swirling designs in blue, green and purple. Five faces are evenly spaced on the black border. The face on the top has a blue head covering. The faces on the sides and bottom have colored head coverings. The plate sits on a dark background with shadows.
