Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Piece", by an unidentified artist, depicts a square of fabric with a floral pattern. The fabric square fills most of the image with a thin tan border around it. The pattern on the fabric is made up of various gold flowers and leaves on a black background. The flowers are different sizes and shapes, some with five petals and others with more. The leaves are teardrop-shaped with a pointed tip. In the bottom-left corner of the image, outside of the fabric square, there is small red text. The border around the fabric is a light tan color. The image has a white background on the right side.
