Books and Brush-Stand 19th century

"Books and Brush-Stand" is a woodblock print created by the Japanese artist Kubo Shunman in the 19th century. It depicts a still life arrangement of writing implements, books, and a teapot in a simple yet elegant manner. The composition includes two books laid open on a table, a brush stand with writing brushes, and a small teapot. The work is characterized by the intricate detail, delicate brushstrokes, and subdued colors that are typical of the ukiyo-e style. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
