Stencil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Square artwork with a brown frame, made of a rough textured material. The frame is darker brown with a lighter brown border around the inside edge. The artwork's background is white with thin, evenly spaced, dark brown parallel lines running horizontally across it. Two white circles are on the artwork, one on the top left and one on the bottom right. Dark brown curved lines extend from the circles, resembling feathers or leaves. Small, dark brown flowers or buds are on stems that pass through the circles. The artwork titled "Stencil" is by an unknown artist.
