Looking Glass

John Elliott Sr.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a tall, narrow mirror with a decorative frame. The frame is dark-colored and appears to be made of wood. It features an ornate design at the top with curved lines and scroll-like shapes on either side. The mirror's glass is divided into two sections. The top section has a smooth, wavy edge and appears to be intact. The bottom section appears to be old and cloudy with a horizontal line across it. The mirror appears to be mounted on or set into a small platform or ledge at the bottom. The background of the image is white. The title of the image is "Looking Glass" and the artist is John Elliott Sr.
