The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow piece of fabric with a repeating floral pattern, designed by artist Anni Albers. The fabric is rectangular and oriented vertically, with a light-colored background and dark-colored flowers and leaves. The pattern consists of rows of flowers with rounded petals and centers, accompanied by leaves and stems. The fabric has a thin border around the edges, with a lighter shade on the outside and a darker shade on the inside. The border is visible on all four sides but is wider on the left and right sides than on the top and bottom. The image is in black and white. The piece is titled "Piece".
