Mark Rothko

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

The image shows a person lounging in profile. The individual is in a recumbent position, leaning back with one arm resting on a surface, while the other hand is positioned near their face. The person's facial features are bold and simplistic, and their hair is styled close to their head. The clothing drapes over the body, with lines suggesting folds and flow of fabric. Around the person, there are thick outlines and shading that hint at cushions or a seat, creating a sense of depth and texture. The background is filled with bold, dark lines, framing the figure.
