Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The image features a square composition divided into four equal sections by two intersecting strips of off-white fabric. The background of each section is blue, and they are arranged in a 2x2 grid. Each section contains a gold floral design. The outer border of the image is tan. The image appears to be a close-up of a piece of fabric or textile. The floral designs are symmetrical and appear to be made of gold thread or yarn. The blue background of each section has a slightly textured appearance. The off-white strips dividing the sections are slightly wrinkled and uneven. The tan outer border has a slightly rough texture. There is small red text in the bottom-right corner.
