Apron

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows an "Apron" by an unknown artist. The apron is made of semi-transparent white fabric. The apron has a rectangular shape with a scalloped edge and a lace trim along the bottom and sides. There are two long ties, one on each side, made of the same fabric as the apron. The ties are long and thin, with one end featuring lace. The apron has a gathered section in the middle, with several layers visible. The background of the image is solid black. The apron features embroidered designs on the bottom right side, including dots and leaves. The fabric appears old and worn.
