This image shows an oval platter displayed on a red surface, likely in a museum setting. The platter features a black and white enamel scene depicting a biblical or historical event. In the foreground, a central male figure in Roman-style armor stands with a sword and spear, addressing a group of soldiers. To the left, a king or ruler in regal attire gestures towards a seated, bearded man, possibly in supplication. Behind the seated man, a walled city or structure is visible. The platter's rim is adorned with an ornate pattern of scrolling foliage and mythical creatures, highlighted with gold accents. Below the platter, a dark plaque contains text in multiple languages, providing information about the artwork. One section, in Russian, identifies the piece as a "Triptych 'The Prayer of Thomas', Communion with the Apostles," by "Pskov Craftsmen, until 1557" from the collection of "A.I. Paskevich." Another section, in French, describes it as "Triptych: Christ au jardin des Oliviers, La Descente aux limbes et l'Incredulite de Thomas," attributed to "Pierre Reymond, 1577." A third section, in English, states "Triptych with the Agony in the Garden, the Harrowing of Hell and the Incredulity of Thomas," also attributed to "Pierre Reymond, 1577" and from the "collection of Prince F.I. Paskevich." The red surface suggests the platter is part of an exhibition, and the overall presentation implies it is an artifact of historical or artistic significance. The presence of multiple languages on the descriptive plaque indicates the artwork is likely housed in a major museum that attracts an international audience. Given the mention of Russian and French text and a prominent Russian collector, it is highly probable this is displayed at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, which houses an extensive collection of decorative arts.
