Stockings

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pair of white stockings, "Stockings" by an unknown artist. The stockings are long and made of a smooth fabric, likely cotton or silk. They are off-white and have a ribbed cuff at the top with a tie. The stockings are knee-high. The right stocking has red lettering on it that appears to say "H82". The background is a plain white surface. The stockings are laid flat on the surface, with the toes pointing downwards. The left and right stockings are side by side and nearly touching.
