Mark Rothko

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

The image shows swirling, curved lines and bold strokes creating an abstract figure. The shapes resemble a human-like form, potentially portraying a person with an arm raised. A shaded area suggests a hat or headscarf. The lines evoke movement, possibly dancing or gesturing, while feet-like shapes anchor the sketch.
