Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Salvador Dali, Piece. The image shows a long, rectangular piece of fabric with a floral pattern. The fabric has a salmon-colored background. There are several large flowers and leaves in shades of brown, gold, and blue. The flowers and leaves have a metallic sheen. The fabric has a thick, tan border around it. There is a small signature in the bottom-left corner in orange. The fabric appears to be made of a shiny material, possibly silk or satin. The overall design is ornate and decorative. The image is a close-up, so there is no background beyond the fabric.
