Plate with Soldier on Horseback 1936

This is a hand-painted ceramic plate by Albert Levone, dated 1936. The plate depicts a soldier on horseback, holding a horn and a sword, in a naive style. The soldier's horse is white, and he is wearing a green jacket and a hat with a plume. The plate is surrounded by a border of stylized flowers and leaves. The inscription on the plate is in German, and it reads "Ich bin geitreten" (I am entered). This plate, painted in a traditional folk art style, evokes a sense of history and folklore, and is a great example of decorative arts from the 20th century.
