Fichu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White semi-sheer fabric with a wide, curved neckline and delicate lace trim along the top edge. The fabric is shaped like a half-circle or a wide collar, with two long ribbons on either side that appear to be used for tying. The fabric has a slightly yellowed appearance and some discoloration, particularly around the bottom center. A small white tag is attached to the bottom center of the fabric. The background is solid black. The title of the image is "Fichu".
