Stencil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown and white image of a copper plate. A dark brown border surrounds the image. Inside the border, a design made up of dark brown lines and shapes on a white background. The design appears to be made up of several diagonal lines that run from the top left to the bottom right. Along these lines are various shapes and patterns cut into a copper plate. Some of the shapes resemble animals, while others appear to be plants or abstract. The copper plate has a textured surface with visible scratches and marks throughout. The image appears to be a stencil. Stencil, by artist.
