A Sudden Rush of Affection: Leadbeater’s Plate XI
Bright crimson vortices stand out against an oval crossed by repeated rose-coloured bands. Smaller patches of yellow and green remain visible behind the red field. Leadbeater’s text identifies Plate XI with a sudden rush of strong affection, giving a mother embracing her child as an example. The plate visualises that theosophical interpretation through circular motion, overlaid colour and vibrating lines.
