"Piece" is a printed cotton textile created between 1785-1790 by Bromley Hall and is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. It features a repeating pattern of stylized birds, trees, and flowers. The red motif is printed onto a light pink background, creating a vibrant and eye-catching design typical of 18th-century textile printing. This piece exemplifies the artistic trend of incorporating natural elements into decorative arts, reflecting a growing interest in Chinoiserie.
