Associated Names
Mark Rothko

Artist, American, born Russia (now Latvia), 1903 - 1970

The image shows a sketch of a full-bodied figure of a person standing, slightly turned to the side with legs apart and arms relaxed by their sides. The person's head is slightly tilted upwards, with minimal details on facial features such as the nose, mouth, and eyes, as well as a short beard or facial hair. The hair is depicted in a short, textured style. The figure is not dressed, and there are no additional details or clothing items shown. The background is plain, with no objects or additional context provided beyond the sketch itself. The style is loose and gestural, focusing on form and posture rather than detailed anatomy, with no jewelry or other objects depicted.
