Suspenders

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two long, narrow strips of artwork titled "Suspenders" by an unknown artist. The strips are rectangular and laid horizontally. They are made of two rows of repeating, rounded square images. Each rounded square image depicts a simple, colorful illustration. The illustrations appear to show people in various scenes. The background of each rounded square is beige. The strips have frayed edges and a light-brown color. The background behind the strips is white. The two strips are placed one on top of the other, parallel to each other. The top strip has 11 rounded squares; the bottom has 10. The illustrations vary between the two strips.
