Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a vertical, rectangular piece with a predominantly black background and an intricate gold pattern. The pattern consists of interlocking hexagons and flower-like motifs. The gold lines forming the pattern are slightly faded and show signs of wear, with some areas appearing more distressed than others. A thin, almost imperceptible line runs vertically down the left side of the piece, and a more noticeable crease or tear is present slightly to the right of center. The piece has a thin white border around it. The artist and title of the piece is Piet Mondrian, however the artist and title are not visible.
