farfurie is a 1897 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, depicting leaf, held at Romanian Peasant Museum.
This is a round, decorated plate with a light background. Black designs cover most of it—big flowers with thick petals, leafy vines, and a border of repeating patterns like feathers and dots. The center has the year "1897" written in the middle of the flowers. The edges are slightly uneven, and the whole thing looks like it could be made of ceramic or paper. The flowers and leaves are simple but bold, with no shading to make them look 3D. The patterns around the edge look like they might be inspired by nature, but they’re stylized and repeated. It’s not clear who made it, but the date suggests it’s from the late 1800s. If you like this kind of decoration, look up Realism next.
