The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown rectangular stencil with white design. The design depicts a landscape scene. In the center-left, a hut with a slanted roof sits on the edge of a body of water. A boat floats on the water in front of the hut. The boat has a curved bow and a flat stern. On the right, a large tree with thin curved branches leans to the left, its trunk on a raised mound. The tree is on the right side. Behind the tree are smaller bushes. The background has a hill with an angled line suggesting a path or road. The entire design is white on a brown background.
