Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork, titled "Piece" by an unknown artist, shows a light green fabric with a white floral pattern. The fabric is rectangular and has a thin border around it that is slightly darker than the rest of the fabric. The floral pattern consists of various swirling shapes resembling leaves and flowers. The background of the image is the light green color of the fabric, and there is a small piece of paper or cardboard underneath the fabric with a handwritten number "96.14.712" in red ink at the bottom left corner. The overall appearance suggests a piece of textile or a design sample.
