Persimmons on a Plate 19th century

"Persimmons on a Plate" is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Kubo Shunman, dating back to the 19th century. The print depicts a still life of persimmons, a knife, and a leaf on a blue and white porcelain plate. Shunman, known for his exquisite depictions of nature, captures the subtle details of the fruit's texture and the light reflecting off its surface. This work, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the artistic tradition of Japanese woodblock prints, showcasing the genre's beauty and precision.
