The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork, titled "Twelve Views of Naniwa (Osaka)" by Nishiyama Ken, features a landscape painting on a beige background, divided into two sections. The painting depicts a tree with sparse foliage on the left, drawn in black ink with visible brush strokes. A small red seal is placed in the bottom-left corner. The beige background has a rough texture and is speckled with darker spots. A brown border surrounds the painting, speckled with small darker brown dots. The artwork appears to be hanging on a white wall, with a thin white line visible at the top and bottom.
