Trousers

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pair of white trousers by artist Joseph Beuys. The trousers are made of a lightweight fabric, likely cotton, and have a smooth texture. They are a light cream color with no visible patterns or designs. The waistband is flat and has two small tan buttons on either side. There are two side pockets and a fly with a button fastener. The legs are straight and slightly tapered at the bottom. The trousers appear to be slightly wrinkled and creased. The background is solid black.
