Looking Glass

John Elliott Sr.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a wall-mounted mirror with a beige-colored ornate frame. The frame is rectangular with a rounded edge. The frame features a design with floral patterns and scrollwork. A more intricate design extends from the top of the frame, resembling a stem with leaves. The mirror itself is rectangular and reflects a light gray color, likely due to the lighting. The background of the image is a solid gray color. The overall style of the mirror and frame appears to be antique or traditional. The mirror is titled "Looking Glass" by John Elliott Sr.
