Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a grid-based textile design titled "Piece" by artist Anni Albers. The design consists of rows and columns of squares and rectangles. The squares and rectangles are filled with various colors and patterns, including solid colors, stripes, and floral designs. The colors used are shades of brown, beige, blue, and white. The grid pattern has five horizontal rows of squares and rectangles. Some of the squares and rectangles have a raised or embossed appearance. The background of the image is a light brown color. There are small, illegible words printed vertically on the top-right side. The overall design appears to be a sample or study for a larger textile piece.
