Stencil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown rectangular stencil with a border, with a white and brown floral pattern created by closely spaced parallel lines. The stencil, titled "Stencil" by the artist, features diagonal parallel lines forming a background with a floral pattern cut out in brown. The border is thick and brown with some imperfections and a small white label at the bottom-right corner. The stencil appears to be made of a thick material, possibly metal or thick plastic. The floral pattern includes several flowers and leaves cut out in a random pattern. The background is white, visible around the edges of the stencil.
