Footed Dish with the Judgment of Paris
(Renaissance Europe )
This footed dish is exhibited to show the decoration of the underside, here with fruit swags, acanthus leaves, scrolled patterns, and fanciful heads, all adapted from prints that were produced specifically to provide models for such ornamental designs. The monogram "P.C." marks this as by Pierre Courteys.
