Windowpane

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image, titled "Windowpane" by an unidentified artist, shows a black and white photograph of six rectangular pieces arranged in two rows of three. The rectangles are placed on a white fabric background with visible weave texture. Each rectangle contains a dark circular shape resembling a hole or stain with a lighter outer ring. The circular shapes are positioned in the center of each rectangle. The rectangles have a semi-transparent appearance with visible dark smudges and stains. The top row of rectangles appears to have a slightly torn edge on the right side of the third rectangle. The bottom row has a slight gap between each rectangle. The rectangles are labeled with small illegible text at the bottom. A small label in the bottom-right corner reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". The overall image has a white border around it.
