Longwy - Wall plate - Earthenware, Ceramic

Stunning wall plate in Longwy enamels, from the Art Workshop, with a polychrome figurative design depicting a pair of deer in a lively lakeside landscape.

Diameter 37 cm. Weight about 1.5 kg.

The scene, finely executed, features two fallow deer at the water's edge, surrounded by stylized vegetation and a sky nuanced with delicate tones. The treatment of the decor, at once naturalistic and decorative, bears witness to Longwy's characteristic expertise in cloisonné enamels, with a network of crazing.

The composition sits within an aesthetic close to late Art Deco / mid-20th century.
