Cleveland Museum of Art

Saucer-shaped dish decorated by Cornelis Pronck. The dish is round and saucer-shaped with a wide rim. The center of the dish features a white background with a blue border and a scene of two women in traditional Asian clothing. The woman on the right wears a long orange dress and has her hair pulled back. The woman on the left wears a long orange dress with a brown shawl and a gold top, has her hair pulled back and holds an umbrella. They stand on the right side of a small body of water with birds on the left. The rim of the dish is decorated with a red and gold pattern, featuring small oval shapes. The border also includes several small circular scenes with gold designs and blue and white details. The background of the image is dark gray, with a lighter gray surface that the dish sits on.
