Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image displays a black and white photograph titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The photograph shows a wrinkled, rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern of circular designs. The fabric is divided into two horizontal sections by a crease. Each section contains three circular designs that are identical and evenly spaced. The circular designs have a thick border and a cross-like pattern in the center. The background of the fabric appears to be a medium gray color. The circular designs are a lighter shade of gray. There is a small white label on the bottom right corner with text that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". There is additional text on a smaller label below the fabric but it is illegible. The image has a white background.
