Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The fabric has a light blue-green background with thin, darker horizontal lines. The fabric features a repeating floral pattern in a lighter beige color. The flowers have four petals and are arranged with leaves. The fabric is bordered by a thin, light-colored frame. The frame appears worn and aged. A small white rectangle in the bottom-right corner contains the text "20.148.1190" in black font.
