Engageantes

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two white lace pieces, possibly historical or antique, are displayed on a black background. The lace pieces have an oval-shaped hole in the center and a gathered, ruffled edge. They are both made of white lace with floral embroidery. The left piece has a small white tag attached at the top. The right piece has a longer white tag attached to the top-right. The tags are rectangular and have black writing on them, but the text is not legible. The lace pieces are symmetrical and similar in design, but not identical. The background is solid black with no other objects or features visible. The image appears to be a product or museum exhibit photograph. The title and artist are "Engageantes".
