Associated Names
Mark Rothko

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

The image is a sketch of a person depicted from head to toe. The person is standing in a slight side profile with one leg forward. The facial features are rendered with simple lines, depicting a determined or neutral expression. Short hair is sketched around the face with minimal detailing. The figure appears to be undressed, drawn using a mix of thin and bold lines to indicate body contours and features. The background consists solely of a plain sheet with no additional objects or scenery, and the paper itself has a few creases and age marks visible around the edges.
