Stencil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown and white artwork titled "Stencil" by an unidentified artist. The artwork features a brown border around the edges, with a white background and brown lines running horizontally across it. The main scene depicts multiple brown birds or chickens standing among plants and trees. The birds are scattered throughout the image, some facing left and others right, with their heads down or looking up. The plants and trees are also brown and appear to be made of the same material as the birds. The overall design is cut out of a material, possibly paper or metal, to create a stencil-like effect. The image is rectangular in shape.
