Tray 1765 - 1785

This 18th century tray, created by Gotha, depicts a pastoral scene with figures riding a donkey and an ox through a wooded landscape. The scene is depicted in black and white, and the tray is made of porcelain with a scalloped edge. This piece, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, demonstrates the delicate artistry of Gotha's work, offering a glimpse into the popular themes of 18th century decorative arts.
