Tile

Guy Green

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black-and-white photograph. Three square tiles are arranged in a row. The tiles are made of white material, possibly ceramic or porcelain. The edges of the tiles are rough and uneven. The tiles have a landscape scene with trees, bushes, and people. The left tile shows a landscape with a person lying on the ground. The middle tile shows a man standing and holding a dog on a leash. The right tile shows a man and a dog running. A small white rectangle with numbers is below the tiles. The numbers on the rectangle are 22.23.24. There is handwritten text at the bottom of the image. The text is upside down and reads 55.ES145.92.64. A corner of another tile is visible in the top right. The background is a plain surface, possibly a table or countertop.
