Corset

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white corset by artist unknown titled "Corset". The corset is made of white fabric, likely cotton or linen. It has a structured shape with a straight top edge and a curved bottom edge. There are two long straps extending from the sides, which appear to be used for tightening. The corset features a series of vertical lines and stitching that provide additional support and shape. The background of the image is plain white, suggesting that it may be a product photo or a museum exhibit.
