Cape

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white lace piece titled "Cape" by an unknown artist. The lace is white and features intricate floral patterns and scalloped edges. It is shaped like a cape or a shawl, with a wider section in the middle and narrower sections at the top. The lace has a dense and detailed design, with many small flowers and leaves. The background of the image is dark blue. The lace appears to be made of a delicate material and has a vintage or antique look. The edges of the lace are curved and have a decorative scalloped design. The overall shape of the lace is symmetrical, with the two narrower sections at the top being roughly equal in size. The lace takes up most of the image, with a small border around it.
