White plate with gold floral design around the rim and a black and white image of a man and woman in 18th-century clothing in the center. The plate has a wide rim with a gold pattern featuring interconnected floral motifs and scrollwork. The central image depicts a man and woman sitting together on a bench or step, with the man on the left and the woman on the right. The man wears a long coat with buttons, knee-high socks, and shoes with buckles. The woman wears a dress with a low neckline, a head covering, and shoes. They appear to be in a courtyard or garden setting with a building, trees, and a basket on the ground. The plate sits on a gradient background that transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom. Charger.
