Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image "Piece" by the artist shows a square piece of fabric with a brown background and gold floral patterns. The fabric is brown with a rough texture, possibly linen or cotton. Gold floral patterns are embroidered or printed on the fabric in a repeating design. The patterns feature flowers, leaves, and stems. A thin beige border surrounds the fabric. In the bottom-right corner, a small white label with black text reads "96.14.741". The background behind the fabric is plain white.
