- Abstract
-
"Two designs on one plate. [Top design]: A young couple sit in a large curtained bed; the man embraces the pretty woman. Both hold cups; a maidservant (left) (disregarded) hands them food on a small dish. The head of the bed and the curtains form the background. [Bottom design]: Two men cling desperately to a broken mast floating in a rough sea."--British Museum online catalogue
