Stencil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown metal artwork titled "Stencil" by an unknown artist. The artwork features a brown metal frame with a white background and brown lines and designs. The design consists of thin, vertical brown lines that resemble stems or strings. These lines are adorned with various shapes and patterns, including spheres, ovals, and teardrops. These shapes are intricately detailed with cross-hatching and other textures. The shapes are scattered throughout the artwork, some overlapping or touching the lines, while others appear to be floating freely. The brown metal frame surrounding the white background has a rough, textured surface. A small, red and white sticker or signature is visible in the bottom-right corner of the frame.
