"Piece" is a silk textile design from 1730-1740 by French artist Jean Revel. The design features a repeating pattern of stylized floral motifs in a dark color against a light background, characteristic of the Rococo style popular during this period. The design would have been used for textiles such as upholstery fabrics and clothing, showcasing the elegance and opulence of the era. Today, it resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a testament to the artistry and enduring beauty of Revel's work.
