This round soft paste porcelain plate is printed in Venitian red in a scene of Aeneas and Anchises fleeing the burning city of Troy. The trefoil border is hand enameled in a similar color. The design is after a print by Hubert Gravelot, found on page 67 of The Complete Drawing Book, 3rd edition, 1762.
