Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The piece by artist is a rectangular image with a beige background and a repeating pattern of hexagons and flowers. The hexagons are outlined in darker beige and contain various designs including flowers and solid colors. The flowers have four petals and are dark blue. The hexagons are arranged in rows that are offset from each other. The entire design is surrounded by a beige border. A small white label with the numbers is in the bottom-right corner. The top-right corner of the image appears to be cut off.
