"Fragment" is a woven silk tapestry designed by Jean Revel, a French artist active in the 18th century. This particular piece, dating back to 1700-1815, features a symmetrical pattern of flowers and leaves on a black background. The detailed craftsmanship is evident in the intricate details of the flowers and leaves, with some subtle shading to add dimension. The tapestry is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
