Plate c. 1953

Charlotte Sperber's "Plate" (c. 1953) is a watercolor painting depicting a traditional ceramic plate. The plate features a central floral motif, rendered in a simplified, almost folk-art style, with a stylized plant with red and green leaves and two stylized flowers. The rim of the plate is decorated with a brown wavy line and brown-red border. The background is left blank to highlight the plate and its design, reflecting a minimalist aesthetic. Sperber's work is known for its focus on folk art traditions and everyday objects, capturing the beauty of ordinary things. This piece is a testament to her artistic vision and her ability to elevate everyday objects to works of art.
