This Victorian 6 " x 6 "tile is transfer printed in black against a white background showing good detail and good contrast.

The tile is from the Watteau series in the style of the French artist Jean-Antoine Watteau.  The series features a Rococco style border with two young girls and a boy in period dress.  The girls are vying for the boys attention with fruit and flowers.

Great condition.
