The stitching on the left and right sides forms curved lines. The center of the fabric has a large, dark blue, empty space with some horizontal yellow lines. A small white spot is on the right side. The fabric sits on a beige background. A small piece of paper with numbers is at the bottom right. The title of the piece is "Piece" by the artist.
