Plate

Albert Eyth

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a decorative plate design. The image showcases a circular plate with a symmetrical pattern of stars. The design features an inner ring of red stars and an outer ring of green stars. Each star is intricately designed with an inscribed star pattern within it. There is careful attention to the arrangement, maintaining a uniform distance between each star. Below the circular design, there is a technical sketch of the plate's side profile, indicating its dimensions, particularly a width of 9 inches. The entire composition presents a balance between artistic decoration and technical precision.
