Corset

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a beige corset by the artist. The corset has a square neckline and two straps. The corset is made of beige fabric, possibly cotton or linen, with vertical seams down the front and back. There are also horizontal lines of stitching across the top and bottom of the corset. The corset appears to be a historical or vintage piece, possibly from the 18th or 19th century. The background of the image is a plain beige color.
