Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork "Piece" by Marc Chagall depicts a vertically oriented composition divided into four horizontal sections. The top section features dark blue background with gold-colored interlocking chain-like patterns and circles. The second section from the top displays a grid of fabrics with various patterns, including stripes and squares; from left to right, there is a white background with a grid of squares containing four-pointed shapes, then vertical stripes in white, blue, brown and gold, and finally a blue rectangle. The bottom two sections showcase intricate patterns on brown backgrounds, with the lower part featuring curvilinear gold and white designs, and the section above it featuring similar curvilinear designs but in gold on a darker brown background. The entire piece is set against a light brown background.
