Theme & Variations Decorative Plate #47 (Face in Key) 

This decorative plate, "Theme & Variations Decorative Plate #47 (Face in Key)", is a work by the Italian artist Piero Fornasetti. The design is typical of his work, featuring a repeated motif of a woman's face, in this case, partially obscured by a key, a recurring element in Fornasetti's work. This playful and surreal approach to design was a hallmark of his work, which was inspired by classical art, Italian design, and popular culture. His designs often featured fantastical and humorous elements, reflecting his fascination with the decorative and the unexpected. This piece would likely appeal to art collectors and those with a taste for whimsical, high-end design.
