Stencil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown and white artwork titled "Stencil" by an unknown artist. Rectangular artwork with a rough texture and a dark brown border around the edges that gradually lightens. The center of the artwork is white with a pattern of small brown dots arranged in a grid-like formation. Scattered throughout the center are brown silhouettes of people in various poses. The silhouettes are cut out in a stencil-like fashion, with some featuring outstretched arms and legs, while others appear to be running or jumping. The background of the image is white.
