Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Piece" by an unknown artist shows a gray fabric with a repeating pattern of dark gray and black clouds. The clouds are outlined in white and have swirling shapes within them. The background of the fabric is a light gray color. The clouds are scattered across the fabric in no particular order, with some overlapping others. The fabric appears to be wrinkled and has a textured surface.
