Mori Sosen

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two long, narrow, hanging scrolls with a beige and gold color scheme. The scrolls have a textured appearance and are hung from metal hooks on a light gray wall. The top section of each scroll is beige with three vertical creases. The main section is a darker gold with a patterned border featuring a floral design. Inside the main section of the left scroll, a small monkey sits on its haunches with its tail curled. Inside the main section of the right scroll, a monkey plays with a red and black object that resembles a drum. The bottom section of each scroll features a gold floral pattern. The scrolls have white rods at the bottom. The title of the artwork appears to be "Monkeys at Play" and the artist is Mori Sosen.
