Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark blue rectangle with gold specks and a white semicircle on a beige background, titled "Piece" by artist Mark Rothko. The rectangle is vertically oriented and occupies most of the beige background. The top left corner of the rectangle features a white semicircle. The majority of the rectangle is dark blue with scattered gold specks concentrated more densely towards the bottom. The beige background surrounds the rectangle with a small gap between the rectangle's edge and the beige background. A small handwritten number is visible at the bottom.
