Sleeve Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of two long, narrow panels. Panels have a landscape scene with people and plants. The scenes on both panels are similar with a few details changed. Rectangular scenes are stacked on top of each other, three on each panel. The scenes include a woman on a bridge, a woman near water and plants, and a bird. The artwork is titled "Sleeve Band" by an unknown artist. The background appears to be a piece of aged paper or fabric with creases. Text in the bottom-right corner reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART".
