Apron

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white apron, by artist unknown. The apron is made of a lightweight, semi-transparent material, likely cotton or linen. It has a rounded top edge and long ties on either side. The apron features a decorative border along the right side and bottom edge, with a repeating pattern of flowers and other designs in a darker shade of brown or gray. A small pocket is positioned on the left side of the apron, adorned with an embroidered design. The apron appears to be old and worn, with some discoloration and wrinkles visible. The background of the image is solid black.
