Plate c. 1938

"Plate" is a watercolor drawing by Byron Dingman, created around 1938. This detailed depiction of a plate decorated with a floral motif showcases Dingman's interest in traditional folk art designs. The design features a central basket overflowing with roses, surrounded by a border of smaller blooms and leafy vines. Dingman's careful rendering of the plate's form and the vibrant palette create a charming and evocative portrayal of a simple yet beautiful object. This watercolor serves as a testament to the artistic appeal of everyday objects, particularly those adorned with decorative motifs.
