The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown and white textile with a design of a person bending over. The person appears to be wearing a large hat. The design is made up of small squares of fabric that are arranged to form the image. A small white label with black text is at the bottom right corner of the textile. The textile has a rough, woven texture and a gray border around the edges. The background behind the person is brown. The overall style is simple and monochromatic. "Piece" by artist Faith Ringgold.
