This heavily damaged ceramic plate displays a pastoral scene with significant areas of deterioration and missing fragments. The remaining image shows figures in a landscape setting beneath a light blue sky. The composition includes dark trees framing the scene, with figures arranged in various poses across the plate's surface. Bright spots of color - particularly orange, red, and yellow - punctuate the composition. The plate's edges are extensively chipped and broken, with large sections of the original image missing, particularly around the rim. A notable orange-red section remains intact at the bottom of the plate. The deterioration itself becomes part of the artwork's current aesthetic, with the broken edges and missing pieces creating an almost archaeological quality that resonates with the title "Lost Prestige."
