Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a blue and white fabric swatch titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The rectangular fabric swatch features a blue background with a white floral pattern. The pattern includes large flowers with five petals and several leaves. The swatch is bordered by a grayish-beige textured material. The fabric appears to be woven with a visible texture. The background behind the swatch is not visible, but the swatch is set against a contrasting surface. A small black and white label in the bottom-right corner displays a series of numbers.
