Tile - Visser - 1700-1750 - Delft blue

The tile is blue-and-white glazed and hand-painted in the traditional Delft blue style, which emerged at the end of the 16th century as an alternative to Chinese porcelain.
The central motif, framed in a circle, depicts a standing figure with a hat and a staff, surrounded by stylized hills, shrubs, and water. Although it is often referred to as a 'fisherman' or 'hunter', similar tiles sometimes refer to the occupation of a shepherd.
The tile is mounted in a rustic wooden frame.
The tile has a few small blemishes ('chips') on the edges and corners.
