Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title of the piece is "Piece" by artist MC Escher. The image shows a square piece of fabric with a gold border. The fabric has a repeating pattern of a floral design in dark blue and gold on a cream background with thin diagonal stripes. The floral design appears to be symmetrical. There are eight instances of the floral design. The border around the fabric is gold with a lighter gold and dark brown stripe along the top edge of the fabric. There is red text at the top of the image that appears to read "CRO-151-96".
