Associated Names
Mark Rothko

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

The image is a minimalist line drawing of a person's torso and slightly turned head. The person is seated, with the upper body slightly leaned forward and their right arm extended outward. The facial features are minimally sketched, giving a rough profile view, and the hair is short and outlined. The person appears to be wearing clothing with puffed sleeves. There are no visible jewelry or objects in the drawing, and the background is plain, earthy brown paper.
