The Piece by artist Faith Ringgold depicts a square piece of fabric with a landscape scene. The scene features blue and brown designs on a white background, depicting a hillside with buildings and trees. Several buildings are present, including one with a brown roof on the bottom-left and a structure resembling a bridge or gate in the center. A pathway or road winds through the scene, accompanied by additional trees and hills. The fabric is surrounded by a tan border. Red text in the bottom-left corner reads 96.14.1920.
