Delft, 1730-1750
The lozenge-shaped plaque has a raised, accolade-shaped rim interrupted at the top by a large shell and at the bottom by a smaller shell. A shell is also modelled on both sides. The plaque is painted in polychrome with an allegorical depiction of a landscape containing a woman with harp and three children near a grave or monument. One of the children sits on a pile of books. In the background, the winged horse Pegasus stands on a hill or bush. The raised rim is painted with two types of floral motifs: concatenated leaves on a brown-red ground and a leaf with yellow ribbon, separated by green leaves. The shells are accentuated in light brownish-red. Below the top shell are two suspension holes.
