The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vest by an unknown artist, titled "Vest", is a cream-colored garment with a paisley pattern. The vest is sleeveless and has a collarless design with a V-shaped opening. The outer fabric features a repeating pattern of curvilinear designs resembling paisley, predominantly in shades of blue and gray. The background of the vest is cream-colored, and the interior lining visible through the opening is also cream-colored. The vest appears to be made of a fabric that has small holes throughout the design, giving it a distinctive texture. The background of the image is black.
