Guy Green

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two rectangular tiles side by side. The left tile is divided into two equal sections. The top section depicts a man and a boy on a path in a wooded area with another person in the background; the man holds a stick. The bottom section shows a lion and a lion cub on a path in a wooded area. The right tile shows a hunting scene with a dog, a man with a long gun, and a tree; a dead animal lies on the ground. A small white rectangle with handwritten numbers, 12 14 13 15, is below the tiles. The background is a plain surface with some handwritten numbers. The tiles are titled "Tile" and attributed to the artist "Guy Green".
