Pa. German Stove Plate

Charles Von Urban

National Gallery of Art

The relief depicts a pastoral scene with a large animal, two smaller figures under and beside trees. The sculpture is grayish, textured with a rough finish. It is rectangular with some parts chipped. There are numerals and inscriptions, including a prominent "4" within an oval at the bottom. The style and composition give it an aged, historical feel. Details like foliage and figures are rendered slightly abstractly.
