Habit à la disposition

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Yellow fabric with white and pink embroidery. The fabric is rectangular and appears to be made of silk or a similar smooth material. The yellow fabric has a slightly wrinkled appearance. The embroidery is concentrated at the bottom, featuring a design that includes curved lines, flowers, and leaves. The curved lines are in a repeating pattern, resembling a garland or a swag. The embroidery is white and pink, with the white thread used for the main design and the pink thread used for accents. Small, scattered embroidered flowers and leaves are present across the entire fabric. The background of the image is off-white. The title of the image is "Habit à la disposition" by an unknown artist.
