Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a square piece of fabric titled "Piece" by artist "C. Floridus". The fabric features a repeating pattern of vertical stripes with stars on a light background. The stripes contain various images and text. The images include portraits of men, statues, and group scenes with people and buildings. Some of the images are surrounded by floral patterns or ornate designs. The text on the fabric appears to be in Latin and includes the name "C. Floridus" and dates, such as "1832". The fabric appears to be old and possibly worn, with some fraying around the edges. The overall design is intricate and ornate, with a mix of historical and decorative elements.
