Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a square piece of fabric with a colorful design. The fabric is framed by a tan border. The design on the fabric features various shapes and patterns in shades of purple, blue, pink, brown, and black. A large flower-like pattern is at the center, with eight petals and a circular center. The background of the fabric is a mix of brown and tan hues. The overall design appears to be a form of textile art or embroidery, possibly created by artist Anni Albers, titled "Piece".
