Description

With its gently tapering sides and pulled edges, this shallow dish exemplifies Lévy-Dhurmer's use of layered glazes and etched designs to create evocative Symbolist compositions. By juxtaposing brilliant and dull luster pigments, the foliage appears to recede in space. Leaves figure in several important Lévy-Dhurmer paintings, most notably Gust of Wind (1903).
