Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of textile titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The image shows a repeating floral pattern on fabric. The pattern consists of large and small flowers in a grid-like formation. The large flowers are in the center and bottom of the image, while the small flowers are scattered throughout. The flowers have a black background with white outlines and details. The fabric appears to be folded or cut at an angle, with a light-colored surface visible in the top-left corner. A small line of illegible text is visible in the bottom-right corner.
