Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title of the image is "Piece" by an unidentified artist. The image shows a square piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is cream-colored with a woven texture. The pattern consists of wavy blue lines and brown oval shapes. The blue lines are irregular and wavy, and they run horizontally across the fabric. The brown oval shapes have a floral design and are evenly spaced across the fabric in rows. The fabric is placed on a gray surface that resembles stone or concrete. The surface has a rough texture and is flecked with white. There is a small white rectangle at the bottom of the image with the numbers "20.148.968" in black text. A faint pencil number "973" is written on the surface below the fabric.
