Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a piece of fabric with a flower design, titled "Piece" by the artist not specified. The fabric is rectangular, with rough, uneven edges and appears to be made of a mesh material. The fabric is primarily shades of brown and gray, with a gold-colored flower design on the right side. The flower design is made up of several rounded shapes that form the petals. There are some white spots and marks on the fabric, possibly paint or glue. The background of the image is white, with some handwritten text at the top that reads "9 6.14. 12.22". The text is written in blue ink and appears to be a date or code.
