Pie Plate

Eugene Shellady

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a decorative round plate featuring an equestrian motif. The painting depicts a decorative plate with a central image of a horse in motion, with colorful details around its edges. The figure of the horse is depicted in a stylized manner, surrounded by ornate floral designs that embellish the border of the plate. In the center, beneath the horse, the words "Lady Lake" are elegantly inscribed. The use of muted earth tones and soft lines suggests an influence from a folk or naive art style. The overall composition is balanced and harmonious, combining elements of nature with a cultural motif.
