Shirt Fragment c. 19th century

"Shirt Fragment" is a textile fragment dating back to the 19th century. Created by an anonymous artist, it consists of a narrow strip of red fabric with a central white vertical line and horizontal rows of stitching, possibly from a garment. The minimalist design and fragment form highlight the ephemeral nature of everyday objects, offering a glimpse into the past through a single fragment. This piece is housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
