Plate 1753 - 1795

This 18th-century porcelain plate, created by French artist Fidelle Duvivier, features a delicate landscape scene with figures in the foreground and a distant castle on the horizon. Duvivier, known for his fine porcelain work, produced this plate between 1753 and 1795, using a transfer-printed design, a method that allowed for intricate detail and mass production of decorative patterns. The plate’s delicate landscape motif reflects the popular Rococo aesthetic of the era, emphasizing a sense of lightheartedness and natural beauty. The plate is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
