Vest

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vest, titled "Vest", by the artist, is a cream-colored garment with a collar and lapels. The vest has a V-shaped neckline and is sleeveless. It features six buttons down the front, with the top buttonhole and button missing. Two pockets are visible, one on each side. The vest appears to be made of a smooth fabric, possibly cotton or linen. A small tag or label is visible inside the back of the neck, but the text is too small to read. The background of the image is solid black.
