Gloves

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pair of white gloves titled "Gloves" by an unknown artist. The gloves are made of a thin, off-white material, possibly leather or kid leather, and are laid flat on a surface, side by side, with the palms facing up. The gloves have a scalloped edge at the wrist and several small holes along the bottom edge. The glove on the left has a design on the palm, depicting a bird perched on a branch surrounded by foliage. The gloves are old and worn, with visible signs of aging, including discoloration, stains, and tears. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
