The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image features a beige fabric with frayed edges, depicting a scene with a bird in flight and two people seated on the ground. The bird, colored in shades of blue and white with a brown head, is flying above the seated individuals. The two people are positioned on the right side of the fabric, dressed in robes with their hands resting on their laps. They appear to be sitting cross-legged on the ground. On the left side, there are several plants and flowers. A large flower or plant with a long stem and a rounded base is visible, accompanied by other smaller plants and flowers. The background of the image is a plain white surface, providing a neutral backdrop for the fabric. The title of the piece is "Piece" and the artist is not specified.
