"Piece", an untitled artwork by artist Mark Tobey. Vertical, rectangular piece of dark brown paper or fabric with horizontal, closely spaced parallel lines covering the surface. Most lines are similar in color and width. The lines are more spaced out and discolored at the top. A small piece of off-white paper with two rows of black writing is to the right. A white border surrounds, with dark brown discoloration on the left edge. A small line of numbers is in the bottom-right corner.
