Beautiful Limoges Plate Hand Painted with Lilies - Signed Barin - Mavaleix, Mand For Sale

This is a beautiful example of the artist\'s talents, fully hand painted. Barin has painted a bloomed white and pink lily along with two closed lilies and a leaf. The background of the plate is painted in two sections of light grayish purple and a darker green/yellow giving the impression of a lake and trees on the horizon.
