Fragment

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Fragment" by an unknown artist shows a close-up of fabric with a floral pattern. The fabric is light brown with a light greenish-gray floral design. The design features a large flower in the center with many petals and leaves. The flower and leaves are outlined in a lighter shade than the background. There are additional flowers and leaves around the edges of the image, but they are partially cut off. The fabric appears to be slightly wrinkled and has a few small shiny spots.
