The scene shows a man balancing a basket of fish on his head - with water, mountains and a sailing ship in the background. Signed with a conjoined "I B" in the lower right corner. This well executed tile was done in the cuerda seca method (aka wax resist). The tile measures 8" x 3 3/4" - with the frame it measures 8 5/8" x 4 1/2". I have 3 other tiles done by the same artist in stock. Done on a red clay blank - there are no backmarks - age and country of origin are unknown. This particular tile is loose in the frame. Generally excellent condition. (#T-1333)
