Schotel, beschilder met hoenders en planten c. 1774 - 1778

This small, hand-painted porcelain dish, created by Loosdrecht around 1774-1778, features a vibrant depiction of a bird perched on a branch, surrounded by foliage and flowers. The delicate details of the bird's plumage and the surrounding flora demonstrate the artist's skill and the popularity of chinoiserie motifs in Dutch decorative arts. The dish, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of 18th-century Dutch porcelain production.
