Fichu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Fichu by an unknown artist is a triangular piece of lace with a wide, rounded neckline. The lace is beige or off-white and features intricate floral patterns and scalloped edges. Small, delicate flowers and leaves are scattered across the fabric. A tassel hangs from the bottom point. The lace appears to be made of a lightweight material, possibly silk or cotton, and has a delicate, airy texture. The background of the image is dark gray or black.
