Pair of Table Screens

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pair of Table Screens by unknown artist. Black and white photograph of two joined rectangular panels standing on a dark wooden stand. The panels are surrounded by a thick border decorated with curving vines and leaves. In the center of the panels is a raised-relief scene depicting a group of people interacting outside a building. The building has a tiled roof and appears to be Asian-style architecture. In the background of the scene are trees and mountains. The stand holding the panels is made of dark wood and features carved patterns on the base and on the piece that connects to the panels. The panels and stand are sitting on a light-colored floor against a textured wall. A magnifying glass is in front of the right panel.
