Stockings

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Stockings by an unknown artist. Two off-white stockings with red designs, laid out side by side on a black background. The stockings are knee-high with a wide opening at the top and a seam down the back. They have a dirty, stained appearance. Each stocking has a red design on the front, featuring a diamond-shaped pattern at the top, a long red section in the middle, and a white stitched border. The toes of the stockings are pointed and appear worn.
