The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title of the artwork is "Piece" by the artist Piet Mondrian. A rectangular piece of paper with a beige background displays a cut section of a fabric or textile, predominantly featuring shades of green, brown, and beige. The cut section is positioned on the left side, showing a green area at the top left corner and a beige and brown patterned design below. The pattern includes a large circle or oval shape with a dark center and a white outline on the upper edge. A smaller, dark blue or green circle or oval shape is visible in the top right corner of the fabric section. A white rectangular label with the handwritten number "178" is placed below the cut fabric section. A small white box with the numbers "20.148.178" is located at the bottom of the paper.
