Figural Wall Plaque with Musician

This is a decorative wall plaque, likely made of molded plaster, resin, or a similar composite material. It features a figural scène in relief within an ornate oval frame. The frame is painted in an antique white or cream color and has intricate scrollwork and foliate motifs. The central scene depicts a male figure, possibly a musician or gentleman from the 18th century based on his attire, seated and playing a lute or similar stringed instrument. He is wearing a blue-green coat or jacket, white ruffled cravat, white breeches or hose, and brown shoes. The background includes stylized trees and foliage, and a railing or balustrade feature. The details of the figure and background are rendered in a muted palette of creams, browns, blue-green, and touches of gold on the instrument. The piece exhibits some signs of age and wear, including minor chips along the edges of the frame and figures, as is typical for molded decorative items of this type. The surface has a matte to semi-gloss finish. There are no visible manufacturer's marks or signatures readily apparent in the image. Based on the style and materials, it likely dates to the mid-20th century or later, as a decorative reproduction in the Rococo or Neoclassical style. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced decorative art from this period, focusing on molded detail rather than hand-carving.
