According to the BBC, a museum spokesperson said it's considering the "next steps" to repair the American painter's 1960 abstract Grey, Orange on Maroon, No. 8 painting.

It said: “The painting Grey, Orange on Maroon, No. 8 by Mark Rothko has sustained superficial damage after a child touched the painting when it was on display.

The abstract painting is estimated to be worth up to €50m (£42.5m), according to newspaper AD. "Conservation expertise has been sought in the Netherlands and abroad.

Rothko's abstract paintings, known for their "floating color fields," were produced from 1949 until 1970, when the artist died. Grey, Orange on Maroon, No. 8 was acquired by Boijmans in 1970.
