Mark Rothko

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

The artwork showcases two individuals drawn from the waist up. The person on the left is seated, slightly turned toward the viewer with their head tilted slightly forward. Their facial features include a straightforward expression with eyes gently focused ahead, and their hair is styled in a short, straight manner with distinct bangs. The person beside them is resting their head on their shoulder, with eyes closed. This figure has hair styled back in a bun. Both individuals appear to be wearing simple, loose-fitting clothing, with the second person's attire showing a striped pattern. No jewelry is depicted, nor are there any objects being held. In the background, thin lines suggest vertical elements, possibly representing furniture or a bed frame. The drawing is signed “Manso” at the lower right corner.
