Plate

Helmut Hiatt

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a decorated plate. The plate has a scene in the center depicting a castle-like structure with two turrets, trees, a winding path, a person, and possibly a dog. The border of the plate is decorated with a pattern of grapevines, flowers, and leafy vegetation. The image has a monochromatic tone. The design suggests a romantic or pastoral landscape theme typical of decorative art in ceramics.
