Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Piece by artist Mark Rothko. A predominantly gold-colored artwork divided into two sections, the larger portion takes up most of the image and has a smooth texture with visible brush or tool marks. The top half of this section displays darker and lighter shades of gold swirling together and stretching from the center to the edges in the top right, while the bottom half shows the gold on a gray background. On the left side on the bottom, a smaller blue section is adorned with gold floral patterns. The artwork features a gray border around it. The background behind the artwork's gray border is light gray fabric.
