Associated Names
Mark Rothko

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

The image shows an incomplete sketch of a person with only part of their upper body, head, and arms visible. The person appears to be positioned in a reclining pose, with their arms raised. Details are minimal due to the unfinished nature of the sketch. The facial features and hair are not distinctly outlined. The clothing is implied through shading and sketching. The person seems to be holding an object in their right hand. The sketch is on plain paper with no detailed background, keeping the focus on the partial figure and their posture.
