Tobacco Sign
The painting titled "Tobacco Sign" by an unknown artist depicts two men shaking hands; the man on the left wears a long coat with tails and a top hat, while the man on the right wears a dark blue coat with tails and a light-colored hat. The man on the left holds a cigar in his mouth and extends his right hand while holding a bundle of dried plants in his left hand; the man on the right holds the bundle of dried plants with his right hand and rests his left on his stomach. A barrel, a stack of crates topped with dried plants, and a bucket are on the left side. A barrel and an upturned pyramid-shaped object are on the right side. A body of water and a ship are in the background. The painting is surrounded by an ornate bronze frame with curled leaves and scrollwork. The frame has a bird on top. The background behind the frame is black.
