Mark Rothko

Associated Names
Mark Rothko

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

The image shows a person from the waist up, seated with their arms resting on a surface. The person's head is slightly tilted to the side and their eyes are looking downward. The facial features are outlined simply, including eyes, nose, and lips. The hair is styled back, with some strands visible. The person is wearing a brimmed hat and minimal details suggest clothing with a ruffled neckline or embellishment. Simple hands are resting on what appears to be a table with possible cups or glasses. The background is plain, emphasizing the figure.
