Collar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

"Collar" by an unknown artist. The image shows a semicircular piece of off-white fabric with a U-shaped neckline. The fabric has a subtle grid pattern and appears to be made of linen or a similar material. White thread or string protrudes from the top of the collar on the left side. The edges of the fabric are trimmed with white lace featuring a floral pattern. The lace consists of a row of small flowers and leaves along the bottom edge and a similar design along the sides. The background of the image is dark gray.
