Velvet Fragment

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a square piece of black velvet fabric with a patterned texture. The title of the piece is "Velvet Fragment" by an unknown artist. The fabric has a rough, frayed edge around its perimeter. The background of the fabric is black with a raised, textured pattern of irregular shapes that resemble flowers or leaves. The shapes are densely packed and vary in size and shape. The fabric appears to be a deep, rich black color. The background behind the fabric is a light gray color.
