Mark Rothko

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

The image is a drawing of a person's full body in a standing position. The individual's left arm is bent upwards with the hand on the head, and the right arm extends backward. The face is depicted with closed eyes and a slightly tilted head. The hair is curly and falls to the nape of the neck. The figure is nude, with the body's form accentuated by charcoal lines. The background is plain, and the artwork is on a textured piece of paper with creases and marks.
