Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a close-up of blue fabric with gold dots and brown stitching. The fabric is a dark blue color with a subtle sheen. It features a repeating pattern of small, evenly spaced gold dots that are arranged in a grid-like formation. The fabric appears to be woven or embroidered with brown thread in a decorative pattern. The brown thread forms curved lines and shapes, including what appears to be a leaf or flower motif on the right side of the image. The fabric fills the entire image, with a small white border around the edges. At the bottom of the image, there is a white strip with handwritten text that reads "697" and a typed number "20.148.697". The title of the piece is "Piece" and the artist is not specified.
