Plate 1904 - 1905

This decorative plate, created by Austrian artist Bruno Geyer between 1904 and 1905, is a prime example of late 19th-century decorative arts. The central image, a finely rendered portrait of a young woman, is set against a dark background and framed by a rich border of gold leaf and stylized floral patterns, emphasizing the opulence of the piece. The plate, a stunning fusion of painting and ceramic artistry, is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
