Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Narrow, vertical rectangle of pink fabric with a floral pattern along its length. The floral pattern consists of light pink flowers with green stems and leaves and gold details. There are also gold stripes on the bottom. The fabric appears to be damaged on the edges and corners. One corner is torn at an angle. The background around the fabric is white, suggesting it may be a museum or gallery setting. A small label with text is visible on the bottom. The title of the piece is "Piece" by an unknown artist.
