Bertha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts two pieces of black lace fabric. The fabric is semi-transparent and features intricate floral patterns. On the left is a square piece with a denser, more uniform lace pattern, while on the right are two connected curved pieces with more sparse and varied floral patterns. The lace on the right appears more fragile and has a scalloped edge. The background is a plain off-white color. The title of the piece is "Bertha".
