Trousers

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Beige trousers with embroidery at the bottom, made by artist unknown, titled "Trousers". The garment is laid flat, with the front side facing up, and the legs are spread apart to show the full length. The fabric appears to be a light beige color, possibly cotton or silk. There are small, dark spots scattered across the surface, possibly stains or discoloration. The embroidery at the bottom of each leg is intricate and colorful, featuring a pattern of gold thread with blue, red, and green accents. The embroidery is denser at the bottom and becomes less dense as it approaches the main body of the trousers. The edges of the fabric are rough and uneven, suggesting that they may have been cut or torn. The background of the image is a plain gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the trousers.
