18th Century Dutch Delft Plate with Walking Man Scene, Circa 1780

About the Item

This hand-painted plate, made in the Netherlands around 1780, features the "Walking Man," a decorative motif commonly found in 18th-century Dutch Delftware. The image depicts a man in mid-stride, wearing a wide-brimmed Dutch-style hat and carrying a cane. This motif reflects the Dutch appreciation for scenes of everyday life, capturing people engaged in daily activities. On our plate, the Walking Man strolls past a garden depicted by just a few brightly colored flowers. The border is decorated with a floral design painted in manganese purple and iron red. The artist used traditional Dutch Delft polychrome colors, including iron red, blue, moss green, and manganese. Dimensions: 8.75" diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $380
