Each plate depicts a distinctive Alpine figure—rural women and a village musician—executed in a charming naïve style with stylized forms, dotted backgrounds, and bold geometric borders. The cohesive palette and matching scale make this trio especially appealing as a curated wall installation.

Originally produced as decorative art objects, these plates were intended for display rather than table use and reflect the enduring appeal of Swiss folk traditions.
