Casement Window

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a casement window by artist Brancusi. The image shows a kite. The kite's body is made of a dark material resembling leather or fabric and stitched into diamond shapes. Two vertical sticks run down the center of the kite, one on either side of the stitching. The kite is a diamond shape with a long tail made of strips of material. The tail is made up of two long strips and several short strips. The background of the image is light gray. The kite appears to be weathered with darker spots and discoloration throughout. A small triangular piece of material hangs from the bottom of the kite.
