"Piece" is a wallpaper design, printed in red on a cream-colored ground, created by Bromley Hall between 1765 and 1775. The design features a pastoral scene with figures, trees, buildings, and animals. The wallpaper is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The repetitive pattern suggests the design's intention for use as a wallpaper, and the detail of the rural scene exemplifies the popular 18th-century pastoral genre.
