Associated Names
Mark Rothko

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

The image depicts a sketch of a person, captured from head to bare feet. The person is standing with one hand on their hip and the other arm bent with the hand resting further back. The facial features are softly sketched with an emphasis on the outlined shape of the face and a slight tilt of the head. The person's hair is drawn with a gentle wave, cascading down to the shoulders. The clothing is loose-fitting, draping over the body's form, outlined with shading to suggest its texture and flow. There are no additional objects or jewelry depicted, and the background is plain and unadorned.
