The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a four-poster bed with a floral patterned canopy and curtains. The bed has a white comforter with a dark-colored, curved line design. A small, oval-shaped table with three legs is to the right of the bed. A framed picture hangs on the wall above the table. The walls are white with a gray wainscoting, and a door is on the left side. The floor is made of dark wood. The room appears to be in a house by the sea, as indicated by the picture on the wall. The image title is "Bedstead". The artist is unknown.
