Mark Rothko

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

The image is a black and white sketch of a human figure seated with a slight turn, leaning back with arms on a surface behind them. The facial features are minimally detailed, and the hair is styled close to the head. The person is unclothed, with shading defining body contours and musculature. The background is abstract with broad strokes and areas of contrast, possibly suggesting an outdoor setting.
