This elegant plate is part of the La Menagerie, a collection of six pieces with six distinctive designs, each belonging to a different animal. Elegantly rendering a taste of what the private reserve of animals of the Sultan in Constantinople would have looked like, this series will enrich any occasion, adding a superb touch to both a classic and a contemporary decor. In this case, an elegant peacock strolls in a black and white-painted forest with its vividly-colored features contrasting with the monochromatic quality of the background.
