    Description

    The porcelain plaque depicts 'The Immaculate Conception of the Venerable Ones' after the 1678 painting by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (Spanish, 1618-1682), which is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain. The composition depicts the Virgin Mary in blue and white as she stands on a crescent moon, surrounded by many winged cherubs, who form a mass about her, submerged in clouds. The plaque is delicately painted, and the colour palette is remarkably bright and vibrant.
