Still life

Unidentified artist

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Still life by Unidentified artist. The image depicts a still life composition on a beige background. A red table with a green design on the front stands on the right side. On top of the table is a red deer figurine with long antlers. The deer faces left. The table has a red tassel hanging from its right side. To the left of the table is a potted plant with green leaves and a red flower. In front of the table are several items: - A white box with a green ribbon tied around it. - A green and gold patterned object, possibly a screen or divider, leaning against the box and table. The items cast a red shadow on the floor. There are several lines of Japanese text written vertically on the left side. A small circular seal or stamp is in the bottom-right corner.
