Mirror and Stand

Kikugawa Eizan

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a still life of two objects on a stand. The object on the left is black with a handle on the left side and a round body featuring a lighter-colored, flower-shaped area in the center. The object on the right has a handle at the top and is gray with a rounded, cloud-like shape. Both objects rest on a black stand with a flat base and angled legs. The background is off-white with Japanese writing in black ink. A small red seal is visible in the bottom-right corner.
