Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a long, horizontal, rectangular piece of fabric titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The fabric has a predominantly brown background color. It features a pattern of shapes that appear to be in shades of brown, gray, and green. The fabric shows signs of wear and deterioration, with visible fraying and tears. There are two horizontal cracks running across the fabric. The fabric has a rough, textured appearance. It is set against a light-colored background, possibly a table or surface. At the bottom right of the fabric, there is a small white rectangle with black text that reads "20.148.605". Next to the text, there is a small red rectangle with blurry red text.
