Gloves

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a pair of long gloves titled "Gloves" by an unidentified artist. The gloves are made of a light-colored material with a texture resembling paper or fabric, featuring thin horizontal lines with small holes. The gloves are long and extend to the forearm. The left glove is intact, while the right glove has a small tear near the wrist area. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The gloves are positioned side by side with palms facing inward, and the fingers are spread apart. The fingers on both gloves have rounded tips. The overall appearance suggests that the gloves are made from sheet music, given the presence of musical notes on the material.
