Plate 1800

This 1800 ceramic plate by David Spinner depicts a man on horseback, rendered in red and brown glazes against a yellow-toned background. The scene is accented with floral motifs and a stylized landscape. The plate, which is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the folk art style and ceramic traditions prevalent in the late 18th century. The work's simplicity and charm reflect the artistic vernacular of its time.
