About this work

This plate shows a round shape with a bird perched on a branch of flowers. The bird is green and brown, while the flowers have red and yellow leaves. Around the edge, there are butterflies with orange and green wings, and a black zigzag line borders the whole thing. The design looks like it was hand-painted, with some small cracks showing age. The colors are bright but faded in spots, like it’s been used a lot. If you like this style, check out *chiaroscuro* for another way artists play with light and shadow.
