Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title of the piece is "Piece" by an unknown artist. The image shows a square piece of fabric with a floral pattern. The fabric is light yellow-beige in color. The floral pattern consists of dark blue flowers with yellow centers and leaves. The flowers have multiple petals and are arranged in a repeating pattern across the fabric. There are eight visible flowers, each with two leaves on either side. The fabric has a thin border around the edges, which is slightly darker than the rest of the fabric. In the bottom-right corner, there is small orange text. The fabric appears to be folded in half horizontally.
