Socks

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows "Socks" by an unknown artist. Two off-white socks are hanging on wires against a black background. The sock on the left is made of crocheted lace with a ribbed texture at the top and a solid toe section. The sock on the right is also made of lace with a solid section down the center and a decorative panel on either side. The toe section of the right sock appears to have a flap that folds over and is secured with a small stitch. Both socks have a small tag attached to the top. The sock on the left has a tag with black writing on it. The background is solid black.
