Corset

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is of a white corset. The corset has a square neckline with two straps on either side, approximately 2 inches long. The corset's main fabric appears to be a shiny white material, possibly satin or silk. There are darker spots on the fabric throughout. The corset features multiple seams and stitching details. The fabric appears to be gathered and pleated in several areas. The background of the image is light gray. The corset 'Corset' by the artist is displayed on a black pole. The overall appearance suggests the image is a historical piece.
