About this work

This is a round plate with a dark background and bright yellow-green paint. In the center, there’s a bird with its wings slightly spread, perched on a wavy line that looks like grass. Above the bird, the years "1814" are written in the same yellow-green. The plate’s design is simple but striking—just two colors against a dark base. The bird and grass look hand-painted, almost like a quick sketch. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark for drama.
