Notes
A colored underglaze dish with a slanted edge and a deep bottom. It shows a figurative drawing of a woman outlined in black on a white ground. The woman is wearing a long green dress with a belt, a shirt with blue sleeves, white pants and a green hat. Her shoes and the flower that she holds in her right hand are colored an intense, opaque red. Flowers on thin, twisted branches fill the space around the woman. The rim shows a Chinese motif of waves and rocks, and green and blue decorations are used on the back of the dish. The figurative decorations on Iznik ceramics were inspired by traditional miniature figures in the popular imagination, and most of them were produced for sale to Europeans from the beginning of the 11th / 17th century.
