A Mark Rothko painting valued in the tens of millions was taken off display at a Dutch museum after it was damaged by a child visitor.

Conservation experts are now working to restore “Grey, Orange on Maroon, No. 8” after a child scratched the surface of the painting during a visit to the Rotterdam gallery where it was being exhibited, CNN reported.

The large-scale abstract work, created in 1960 and measuring roughly 7.5 by 8.5 feet, was a highlight of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen’s collection. However, due to ongoing renovations at the museum, the painting was temporarily housed at the nearby Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen.
