"Pa. German Stove Plate" is a 1936 work by Charles Von Urban (1855-1995), depicting a scene of sheep and a quote in German. This Pennsylvania Dutch stove plate features a simple, rustic style and includes a quote from the Bible (Isaiah 65:25) that references a peaceful coexistence between the wolf and the lamb. This piece is a great example of the Pennsylvania Dutch art style and the rich cultural heritage of this region.
