Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a checkered pattern. The fabric is primarily composed of small, alternating squares of dark green and light blue. The fabric's edges are rough and frayed, indicating that it has been torn or cut from a larger piece. The top-right corner of the fabric appears to be torn away, creating a jagged edge. A small, white rectangle in the bottom-right corner contains black text that reads "96.14.1724". The background of the image is a plain white surface, providing a neutral backdrop for the fabric. This image is titled “Piece” by the artist not specified.
