Tile

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, stacked vertically. The top section depicts a man and woman outdoors in a wooded area. The woman sits on a tree stump and the man stands beside her holding a long-handled tool. A third figure stands behind them. The bottom section shows a lion and lioness outdoors in a wooded area. The right tile shows a landscape with a man on the right holding a long-handled tool, and a dog on the left. There are trees and a body of water in the background. There is a small white rectangle with numbers written on it below the tiles. The background is a light-colored surface, possibly a table or wall. Tile by Guy Green.
