Associated Names
Mark Rothko

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

The sketch shows a rough outline of a person with almost the full body visible. The person is depicted in a slightly bent posture, possibly with one arm behind their back or bent, and appears to be in a relaxed stance. The facial features are minimally detailed, with a gentle curve suggesting a smile, and the hair is hinted at with light strokes above the head. The person is wearing a long garment that drapes down to their feet, drawn with simple lines, and there are no evident accessories or objects indicated. The background is plain and unadorned.
