Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The square artwork titled "Piece" by an unknown artist features a blue background with a raised, intricate pattern. The pattern consists of various shapes, including circles, triangles, and rectangles, arranged in a seemingly random yet symmetrical design. The shapes are outlined in a lighter brown color and have a textured appearance. The background of the artwork is a light brown color, resembling canvas or paper. In the bottom-left corner, there is a red stamp with the numbers "95-14-1268". The overall design has a decorative, possibly textile-like quality to it.
