The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A man sits on a low wooden bench. The man wears a white robe with brown floral designs. He has a red sash around his waist. He holds a pipe. His hair is pulled back. A red and gold hanging scroll with tassels is on the wall behind him. A low table is in front of him. A red tray with a golden object sits on the table. A parasol leans against the table behind the man. The background is beige with Japanese writing. The top of the image fades to dark gray. A pair of geta sandals sit on the floor beside him.
