The platter features her iconic elongated nude figures arranged in relaxed, lounging poses around the rim, facing one another in casual positions so that they appear to be engaged in a quiet, intimate conversation. The figures are rendered in high relief, their outstretched arms and legs forming a continuous, rhythmic frame around the dark, subtly textured central field. The contrast between the polished silver-tone metal and the charcoal gray powder-coated surface gives the piece strong visual depth and a distinctly modern presence. Both functional and sculptural, this platter works beautifully as a serving piece, centerpiece, or wall display. The underside is signed with the Carrol Boyes maker’s mark, confirming authenticity. With its large scale and narrative figural design, this is a striking example of Boyes’ ability to merge fine art, sensuality, and everyday function. See less
