Plate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The plate by artist William Spence has a wide rim with a raised pattern. The pattern consists of a line of acanthus leaves on the top and bottom with a line above and below. The center contains a circular image of a river scene. The river scene has several trees on the left and a field with several lines on the right. A river winds from the bottom to the center. A border around the river scene consists of dashes alternating with a small plant. The plate sits on a white surface against a white background.
