Mourning Picture

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Mourning Picture by unknown artist: A framed artwork depicting a landscape with a weeping tree on the left, a short stone pedestal in the center, and a deciduous tree on the right. The stone pedestal has an urn on top and some illegible writing on the front. The landscape features green foliage and a distant mountain range under a blue sky with white clouds. The frame appears old and brown with a black border around the artwork.
