Plate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Plate by Thomas Chippendale shows a round plate with a central circular panel depicting a landscape scene. In the center of the plate is a river with trees on both sides. The riverbank on the left appears to have a steep slope with a path leading down to the water. A person is standing on the riverbank on the right. The outer edge of the plate features an ornate border with a repeating pattern of curved shapes and lines. The plate sits on a plain surface against a light-colored background.
