circa 1480 Netherlandish bronze plate of a woman presumably offering some kind of punishment to her husband, whose protest she clearly does not give a single fucke aboute.
UPDATE: More info on this plate here: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/468640
Interesting that she is described as imposing a “tyrannical rule”. (Thank you, Thomas!)
Love the scene depicted. It would be interesting to learn more.
I’m interested in the background objects. What is that stand on the left? Did she knock his hat off (above his head)? Is he playing a hand harp (what’s he holding)? What’s he leaning on?
I had the same thoughts but haven’t done any research yet.
Also interesting is that someone thought it worthy to make this scene into a plate(!) Was it used for serving food? Display? Something else?
