Plaque

Ott and Brewer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White rectangular plaque with a relief sculpture. The sculpture depicts a man in 18th-century attire, including a jacket with lace trim, knee-length pants, and shoes with low heels. He has short hair and is bending to the left, with his left arm bent at the elbow and his right arm extended toward a dog. The dog, likely a goat or similar animal, is standing on its hind legs, with its front legs raised and mouth open, appearing to interact with the man's outstretched hand. The man's right leg is slightly bent, and his left leg is straight. The plaque has a small inscription at the bottom, which reads "Soph. Cast. time 6.8.1876 OTT & BREWER". The background of the image is black. The plaque is titled "Plaque" and is by Ott and Brewer.
