"Piece" by artist Mark Rothko. The image shows a long, vertical rectangle with a beige border. The rectangle contains a repeating pattern of 15 squares and octagons, arranged in five rows. The background of the rectangle is orange-red with a diamond pattern. The squares and octagons contain symmetrical floral designs in various shades of red, blue, white, and brown. The squares are positioned on the left and right sides of each row, while the octagons are in the center. The octagons contain similar floral designs to the squares but are larger. The entire design is outlined in black. The beige border around the rectangle is slightly textured. A small orange text at the bottom right corner reads "96.14.651".
