Black and white image of a piece of fabric titled "Fragment" by an unknown artist. The rectangular fabric has a zigzag pattern in alternating light and dark colors. The zigzag pattern runs diagonally across the fabric. Light-colored flowers and leaves are on the dark-colored sections. A small white label on the right side has the number "1893". The fabric appears to be mounted on a gray fabric background.
