Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a square piece of fabric with red stitching on a white background. The fabric titled "Piece" by an unknown artist features a design of various types of fences and gates, all stitched in red thread on a white fabric. The fences and gates are arranged in a collage style. There are several types of fences and gates depicted, including picket fences, lattice fences, and wooden gates. The stitching is intricate and detailed, with varying patterns and textures used to create depth and visual interest. The red thread used for the stitching is a deep, bold color that stands out against the white fabric. The fabric has a light brown border around the edges. A red number is printed in the bottom-left corner.
