Elbow Pillow

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of "Elbow Pillow" by anonymous artist. The image shows a rounded square object with 4 visible sides. The object is covered in fabric with an intricate floral pattern. The fabric appears to have a gold and dark-colored design. There are thin lines on the fabric forming a square in the center of each side. The object appears to be sitting on a surface with a shadow behind and to the left. The background behind the object fades from dark at the top to light at the bottom. The object is positioned so that one corner is pointing towards the viewer. The sides of the object are slightly concave. The top of the object appears flat.
