When it comes to serving a successful meal, everybody knows that it’s all about presentation.

With that in mind, San Francisco-based artist Hannah Rothstein decided to create 10 versions of a similar meal, all in [the styles of famous artists](http://www.hrothstein.com/thanksgiving-special/). But Rothstein, who makes everything from paintings and illustrations to jewelry and murals, had never worked with food before, so this idea was totally new for her.

“It was kind of one of those out of the blue moments, like a lot of moments of inspiration and creativity,” Rothstein tells TIME. She initially planned to do a series of illustrations imitating different artists’ brushstrokes, but realized that was “incredibly boring” and not particularly creative. But soon, a better idea came to her. “Thanksgiving had been on my mind, so that popped into my head, and I thought, ‘Oh! Thanksgiving food!'”

Rothstein settled on 10 artists who all had distinct and recognizable styles – like Piet Mondrian, pictured above. Some artists’ styles were fairly straightforward to recreate, but others, like Georges Seurat, who’s best known for his [use of pointillism,](http://time.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/1280px-georges%5Fseurat%5F-%5Fa%5Fsunday%5Fon%5Fla%5Fgrande%5Fjatte%5F--%5F1884%5F-%5Fgoogle%5Fart%5Fproject.jpg) required incredibly fastidious work, Rothstein said.

Want to hang one of these on your dining room wall? Rothstein [is selling](http://www.hrothstein.com/thanksgiving-special/) 25 signed prints of each photo and donating 10 percent of the proceeds to the [SF-Marin Food Bank](http://www.sfmfoodbank.org/).

“I really love making art and I think bringing beauty into the world is important, but in many ways I find art to be a selfish act,” Rothstein says. “So for this, it made sense to donate to the food bank to help people who couldn’t afford their own Thanksgiving meals to have one.”

Check out all the plates – including an especially surprising one at the end.
