Nude Standing before a Table, Plant to the Right

Mark Rothko

Associated Names

Mark Rothko

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

The image shows a series of swift, sketchy lines forming an abstract composition resembling a human figure. The central shape suggests a seated woman, with recognizable elements like a torso and limbs. Lines extend outward, resembling plant-like forms, adding complexity. The interplay of light and dark pencil strokes loosely creates an armchair or similar furniture.
