Dish with European Woman and Child

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two round plates side by side. The plates have a wide decorative border featuring a woven pattern with leaf-like shapes. The left plate depicts a European woman in a long dress standing next to a child pulling a toy. The woman wears a head covering and holds a bird. The right plate depicts a European woman sitting on the ground with a child standing beside her. The woman is wearing a long dress and appears to be holding or interacting with the child. The background of both plates shows trees, and distant buildings are visible behind the woman on the left plate. The image is in black and white.
