Bord van crême-kleurig steengoed met voorstelling van een stervende 1800 - 1825

This 19th-century cream-colored earthenware plate, titled "Bord van crême-kleurig steengoed met voorstelling van een stervende", depicts a scene of a dying man surrounded by loved ones. The central image is framed by a decorative border of stylized floral motifs and a caption at the bottom: "HTLAASTE OLISEL". The plate's simple design and vivid colors, characteristic of Dutch Delftware, would have been appreciated by its 19th-century audience for both its aesthetic appeal and its poignant subject matter. The subject matter of this plate speaks to the Dutch preoccupation with mortality and the importance of faith in times of adversity.
