Plate

Helmut Hiatt

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a decorative plate. The plate features a detailed design with a central image depicting an aqueduct bridge over a canal, labeled "Erie Canal Aqueduct Bridge at Rochester." In the foreground of the central image, there is a flowing body of water beneath the bridge with trees and buildings visible on the banks. The scene is framed by a floral border filled with intricate depictions of flowers and leaves. The image combines architectural and natural elements. The monochromatic tones give it a classic and timeless feel.
