This is a colorful (large) decorative plate or bowl with a red bird (firebird) depicted on it by the famous Dutch painter Corneille (1922-2010), born as Corneille Guillaume Beverloo. With Karel Appel, among others, he was the co-founder of the Cobra Movement in the late 1940s.
This plate gives a nice example of the work Corneille has made since the 1960s; from that time on his designs were figurative with large areas of color. He was inspired by his travels in South America, the United States and Central Africa. This great artist did not see painting as a job or hobby, but as a pure calling. The design printed on the earthenware plate is also known as "l'Oiseau Rouge".
