Dish with a landscape
by FRYTOM, Frederik van, Faience painted blue in the glaze, diameter 19 cm
Frytom used the white ground of this faience dish in a very special way by setting down this broad, hilly landscape in delicate outlines with different shades of blue, and above all with thousands of minuscule dots. He gave the scene a sense of depth by painting the hills on the horizon with a very pale blue which almost fades into the background.
