Corset

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a vintage corset by artist unknown titled "Corset". The corset is made of a light-colored fabric, possibly cotton or linen, with a slightly off-white hue. It has two straps, one on each side, made of a darker brown fabric. The corset is displayed on a mannequin or stand, but only the top portion of the stand is visible. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The corset itself appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging such as discoloration and staining. It has a gathered section at the top and several pleats down the front. There are two eyelet holes at the bottom center. The overall shape of the corset is hourglass, with a narrower top and bottom that curves outwards in the middle. The straps appear to be made of a rougher texture than the rest of the corset. The corset seems to be viewed from directly the front.
