Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image, titled "Piece" by an unknown artist, shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a blue and white toile pattern. The fabric has a beige border around it. The pattern on the fabric features various birds, leaves, and flowers in blue on a white background. The birds appear to be different species, some perched on branches with leaves and flowers, while others are flying or standing on the ground. The leaves and flowers are also depicted in various stages of bloom. The fabric appears to be made of a textured material, possibly cotton or linen. The beige border is visible around the edges of the fabric, with a small number in the bottom-right corner.
