Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a square piece of fabric with a beige background and a repeating pattern of darker beige shapes. The shapes are in a grid-like formation and have a floral design. There are also some solid-colored shapes in the bottom corners of the fabric. The bottom-left corner has a pink shape with green outline and the bottom-right corner has a black shape. The fabric appears to be made of a mesh-like material, possibly lace or crocheted. The image title is "Piece" by an unidentified artist. The color palette is primarily beige with accents of pink, green, and black. The fabric is mounted on a white background. There is a small piece of paper at the bottom with some numbers written on it. The numbers are "28" and "20.148.282". The fabric takes up most of the image.
