Vest

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a cream-colored vest with a subtle pattern of small, light blue-gray flowers or snowflakes. The vest appears to be made of a textured fabric, possibly silk or cotton. It has a lapel collar and armholes cut high on the body. The vest is fastened with six small buttons down the center; the buttons are not visible. There are two pockets, one on either side, with pocket flaps. The vest shows signs of wear, with several small stains and scuffs across its surface. The vest interior is white. The background of the image is black. The title is "Vest". The artist is not visually identifiable.
