Be Wise: A Sage in an Ornamental Frame
A small seated sage printed in red occupies the centre of an elaborate black ornamental frame. The words Be Wise appear beneath the figure, while lyres, hanging ornaments, plants and scrolls crowd the surrounding border. The contrast between the quiet central figure and the densely decorated frame gives this plate its distinctive visual emphasis.
