Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular, tan-colored piece of fabric with a woven texture. The fabric is long and narrow, with frayed edges on the left and right sides. It appears to be made of a coarse material, possibly burlap or canvas. In the upper-right corner of the image, there is a small, narrow strip of paper with black Chinese characters written on it. The background of the image is off-white. At the bottom center of the image, there is a small white rectangle with black text that reads "20.148.66". The title of the piece is "Piece" by an unknown artist.
