Associated Names
Mark Rothko

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

The image shows a sketch of a person from head to toe, seated and facing away from the viewer. The individual's facial features are minimally detailed, with suggestion of a nose and brow. They have long hair falling past the neck. They are wearing an oversized coat that drapes down to the floor, sketched with long, simple lines. There are no visible jewelry or objects in their hands. The background is plain with the texture of the paper visible, emphasizing the focus on the figure.
