Mark Rothko

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

The image shows a black and white sketch of an individual's upper body in a seated position with legs crossed. The figure is sitting back with a relaxed posture, and their facial features are softly defined with dark hair. The person appears to be wearing a long-sleeved garment. There are no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background is abstract with dark, bold brush strokes that suggest a chair or furniture against a largely undefined space.
