The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown pants with a high waist, made of a shiny material resembling silk or satin. The pants have a wide waistband with two large buttons in the center front and two on either side. There are two side pockets, one on each hip. The pants are knee-length, with a slight taper at the bottom. The hem is frayed and has black straps with buckles on either side. The pants are wrinkled and have some dark stains, particularly on the left leg. The inside of the waistband is a light tan color with small holes and a label that reads "B. MAY" in small letters. The background is plain white. Title: Breeches. Artist: Unknown.
