Nude Reclining to the Right, Head Propped on Left Hand

Mark Rothko

Associated Names

Mark Rothko

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

The image depicts a person lying on their stomach. The individual has their head resting on their left hand, with their right arm extending along the ground. The face shows a calm expression with subtle features, and the hair is short and tousled. The figure is unclothed, outlined with simple, flowing lines that emphasize the body's contours. The background is a plain expanse of paper, and there are no visible accessories or objects in the composition.
