Untitled Picture Album of Twenty-five Watercolor Paintings

Nishiyama Hōen 西山芳園

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with a watercolor painting of a carrot on the left page. The book has yellowed pages, likely due to age. The left page features a watercolor painting of a single orange carrot with green leafy tops and roots. The carrot is positioned at an angle, with the top pointing towards the upper-left corner of the page and the bottom pointing towards the lower-right corner. The right page is blank. The book is placed on a plain white surface, with a slight shadow visible beneath it.
