Plate with marine subject 1784 - 1797

This porcelain plate, crafted by Dihl et Guérhard between 1784 and 1797, showcases a delicate depiction of a marine subject. The central medallion features a still life of fish laid out on a rocky shore, rendered in soft colors against a subtle landscape backdrop. The plate's rim is adorned with a decorative band of gold, meticulously painted with a repeating motif of stylized foliage. This example of French porcelain exemplifies the refined artistry and intricate detail characteristic of the late 18th century, a period marked by a flourishing of decorative arts.
