The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title of the artwork is "Piece". The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a pattern. The fabric has a light blue-grey background. The fabric pattern consists of gold-colored floral designs. The floral designs include flowers, stems, and leaves. The gold-colored floral designs are made up of lines that are closely spaced together. The fabric is surrounded by a beige border. The border appears to be made of a different material than the fabric. There is a small red stamp in the bottom-right corner of the image. The stamp is located on the beige border. The image of the fabric takes up most of the space.
