Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork is titled "Piece" by artist unidentified. The image displays a square piece of fabric with a textured, woven appearance. The fabric's background color is primarily white with thin, dark brown vertical and horizontal lines throughout. There are various colored splotches and patches on the fabric, including blue, brown, red, and green. The colors appear to be faded and distressed, giving the fabric a worn, aged look. The fabric's edges are rough and uneven, with some fraying visible around the perimeter. A small piece of white paper is attached to the bottom edge with handwritten numbers.
