This graphite drawing by Roy Weber, created in 1937, depicts a Pa. German Stove Plate dated 1768. The plate features a relief design of three figures, possibly family members, with the inscription "Maria & Funk Ace" and the date. The drawing showcases the intricate detail and craftsmanship of Pennsylvania Dutch folk art. This work is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Pennsylvania, and the artist's meticulous depiction of this historic object.
