Associated Names
Mark Rothko

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

The image depicts a seated person in a relaxed posture, looking straight ahead. They are angled to the side, with one elbow resting on the chair's armrest. The person has soft facial features, a hint of a mustache, and they wear a headband over short hair. The attire suggests layered clothing, possibly a high-collared coat, with tucked-in pants and knee-high boots. The chair is outlined simply, and there is no background detail in the sketch.
