Stencil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Stencil" by the artist Banksy depicts a square, dark brown surface resembling worn leather or rubber, with a rough texture and slightly rounded corners. The surface features numerous small, white cut-out shapes scattered across it, arranged in a seemingly random pattern. The cut-outs are mostly fern-like or leaf-like in shape, with some resembling birds in flight. The background behind the square surface is plain white.
