Stencil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown rectangular artwork with intricate white designs. The background is brown with a slightly textured surface and darker brown spots. The white designs are cut out of the brown surface in a pattern resembling a stencil. There are four squares with floral patterns cut out in a honeycomb-like shape. The top-left square has a flower with long stems and leaves. The bottom-right square has a flower with shorter stems and leaves. The other two squares have a mix of patterns, including lines and dots. There are also several other white designs scattered throughout the artwork, including flowers, leaves, and abstract shapes. The artwork by Stencil is set against a plain white background.
