Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a close-up of a piece of fabric with a floral pattern. The fabric is a light beige color with darker brown designs printed on it. There are four distinct designs visible on the fabric. The top left design appears to be a partial view of a leaf or feather. The top right design resembles a long, pointed leaf or feather. The bottom left design looks like a flower or cloud shape, and the bottom right design appears to be another floral pattern. The background of the fabric has a textured appearance, with visible threads woven together. At the bottom of the image, there is a white border with some numbers printed on it: "428" handwritten in pencil on the left side and "20.148.428" typed in black text on the right side. The title of the piece is "Piece" by an unknown artist.
