Dish of Artificial Plants

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of an arrangement of artificial plants. The arrangement contains a variety of plant-like objects with different textures and shapes; some resemble leaves, while others have berry-like protrusions. The arrangement sits in a white bowl with a wide mouth and three small feet. The bowl is sitting on a white surface and against a light-colored background. Small flowers are present on the left and right sides. The bowl appears to have some small chips on the front edge. The arrangement by James Ensor is titled "Dish of Artificial Plants".
