signature piece
Artist's trademark work
A signature piece is a work, performance, or creation most closely associated with a particular artist, performer, or creator—the one that defines their style or reputation.
For a musician, it might be the song audiences always expect to hear; for a chef, the dish that draws diners to their restaurant.
The term can also apply to a standout item in a collection or design scheme: The antique armoire was the signature piece of the living room.
