Associated Names
Mark Rothko

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

The image is a sketch of a person in a reclined position, lying on their side with the arms bent and legs slightly tucked towards the body. The facial features are minimally detailed, with a simple outline of the face and a glimpse of the nose and eye visible, along with some hair drawn with a few lines extending from the head. The sketch does not depict clothing; instead, it uses loose, curved lines to suggest the form of the body. There are no jewelry or objects being held. The background of the sketch is a plain, neutral-toned surface without additional details.
