Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The piece by Stanislav Edshmid depicts a rectangular composition featuring a repeating pattern of various dark blue shapes on a beige background. The pattern includes circles and hexagons with intricate designs, some containing stylized floral motifs and others solid. The circles are arranged in a grid-like formation, with two rows of three circles, and are interspersed with hexagonal shapes filled with geometric patterns. The entire composition is surrounded by a thin gold border. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-right corner. The overall design is symmetrical and ornate, suggesting a textile or wallpaper pattern.
