Decorative Delft-Style Ceramic Tile with Pastoral Scene This square glazed ceramic tile, measuring approximately 15 cm x 15 cm, features a raised relief design with a pastoral scene. The foreground depicts a woman in traditional European attire, including a blue skirt and white blouse with a kerchief, carrying two buckets. She is accompanied by a black-and-white cow grazing on grassy terrain. The background shows rural structures, including a red barn, a peaked-roof farmhouse, and a windmill, surrounded by trees and a cloudy sky. Framed by a brown ceramic border and designed for wall hanging with a black cord, the tile bears the embossed markings "Delft" in cursive script and "FRIESLAND" in block capitals on the reverse. These inscriptions suggest it originates from Friesland, a Dutch region known for Delft-style pottery. Produced in the mid-20th century, this decorative tile reflects the Dutch cultural and artistic heritage often associated with Delftware.

When examined under UV light there are numerous areas of inpainting. The most extensive areas of inpainting are: the area surrounding the delftware jug, the background in between the man and the severed cow head, along the edges, and on and around the man's face. There's also evidence of restoration and inpainting vertically through the center of the work; possibly from a previous stretcher. There is also a horizontal line running between the length of the work about nine inches from the bottom. It is possible that the work was folded in the past, causing this crack.
