Cassia Tree

Unidentified artist

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a beige-colored artwork featuring a tree and Chinese calligraphy. The tree has a thick, light-brown trunk with several branches extending from it, one to the right and one upwards. The branches have dark green leaves and a few small yellow flowers. There are two red stamps, one on the bottom-left corner and one on the bottom-right corner. The left side of the image contains a column of black Chinese characters, likely calligraphy. The background of the image is a solid beige color with a slightly textured border around the edges.
