Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is of a square artwork titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The artwork is a grid of 64 squares, arranged in an 8x8 pattern. The squares alternate between two colors: dark green and brown. Each square is either a solid color or features a circular or oval design in shades of blue, white, and brown. The designs appear to be some sort of pattern or symbol, but are not clearly defined. The artwork has a thin border around the edges, with a small white border separating it from the rest of the image. The background of the image is white. There are numbers printed at the bottom of the image.
