Gloves

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is of a pair of white gloves. The gloves are made of white material, possibly leather. The gloves are long, covering the back of the hand and most of the fingers. The fingertips are rounded. The glove on the left has the palm facing inward, and the glove on the right has the palm facing outward. Both gloves have a decorative lace trim at the wrist. The gloves have stitching throughout and appear to be old and worn. The background is a light gray color. The gloves are laid flat, with the fingers pointing up. The title of the image is "Gloves".
