Black and white image of "Piece" by an unknown artist. The image shows a square piece of fabric with a floral pattern. The fabric has a light-colored background with thin, darker vertical stripes. The floral pattern consists of large flowers and leaves in white and dark colors. The flowers have five petals and are arranged in a repeating design. There are also smaller flowers and leaves scattered throughout the fabric. The edges of the fabric are slightly frayed and there is a small white circle near the bottom edge. A small label with a number is in the bottom-right corner. The image is bordered by a thin gray frame.
