Piece by artist Robert Rauschenberg. The image shows a square piece of fabric with a blue and white striped pattern on the left half and a beige geometric pattern on the right half. The blue and white striped pattern consists of vertical stripes with thin white and orange stripes on a blue background. A few of the stripes are partially obscured by white splotches. The right half has a beige background with a lighter beige geometric pattern. The entire image is surrounded by a beige border. There are orange numbers in the bottom-left corner.
