The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two square plates with rounded corners and ornate borders. The plate on the left features a scene with four people, including one seated by a table and another holding a flag with Chinese characters. A fence and a mountainous background are also depicted on the left plate. The plate on the right shows two people standing, one holding an object and the other wearing a long dress. Trees and a building are in the background of the right plate. Both plates have a black and white color scheme. The title "Dish with European Subject" and the artist are associated with the image. The plates are displayed on a surface against a wall. The text "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM" appears at the bottom right.
