Associated Names
Mark Rothko

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

The sketch shows the upper half of a person's body from a slightly diagonal angle. The person is turned to the side, looking away from the viewer. Their facial features are depicted with a prominent nose and lips, lightly defined eyes, and a soft expression. The hair is styled in loose waves, tucked back behind the ear. They are wearing a short-sleeved garment with subtle detailing at the sleeve and neckline. The hands are positioned near the torso, with abstract details. The background is a plain, unadorned surface, emphasizing the simplicity of the figure.
