Vest

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white vest with green embroidery. The vest is made of a shiny fabric, possibly silk or satin, and has a high collar. It is buttoned up the front with eight buttons. The vest has green embroidery around the edges, including the collar, down the front, and along the bottom hem. The embroidery is in a leaf-like pattern. There are brown spots on the vest, possibly stains or discoloration. The background of the image is black. The vest appears to be an antique or vintage item, possibly from the 18th century, by the artist unknown.
