Petticoat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a light pinkish-beige color. The fabric has small, scattered, golden-brown and orange dots across its surface. A decorative border at the bottom features a repeating pattern of golden-brown and orange shapes resembling houses or buildings with triangular roofs, surrounded by white and brown lace-like designs and small golden-brown flowers. A color palette with a range of colors and a small white label are positioned below the fabric against a slate-gray background. The fabric's title is "Petticoat" and it is by an unnamed artist.
