The Sibyls heard everything first. Michelangelo set the Delphic Sibyl among his prophets on the Sistine ceiling with a book unrolled in her hands and her gaze already elsewhere, and this plate keeps her exactly in that posture of magnificent distraction. She is turning toward something you cannot see yet, on a ground of warm terracotta, laurel wreath catching the light.

Terracotta and olive is the palette of fresco plaster and Tuscan afternoons, and it brings an instant architecture to a wall. This plate is at home above a bookcase, beside the classical busts, or anchoring a library that needs one genuine oracle. Ask her something before guests arrive; she appreciates an audience.

Generous 10-inch fine ceramic with a high-gloss glaze. For readers of classics and those who consult their horoscope seriously.

Part of the The Masterpiece Collection of old master portrait plates.

Beauty is everywhere.
