This exquisite glazed ceramic charger features a picture of a reclining nude--a clever recreation of a western subject in new terms appropriate to a work situated in its time and place. Figured roughly, and featured at the center of a decorative object (rather than a canvas), the nude seems almost as if tumbling into its center, a dark setting akin to negative space.
