Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Tan-colored fabric with a repeating pattern of green and brown curvy lines. The fabric has a rough texture. The background is a light tan color with a subtle grid-like pattern. Overlaid on the background are curved lines and shapes in green and brown. The curved lines are irregular and intersect with each other. The green lines are darker and more vibrant than the brown lines. The fabric fills the entire image.
