Associated Names

Mark Rothko

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

The sketch depicts two figures from behind, both shown from head to toe. They are kneeling on the ground, with one figure positioned slightly to the left and the other to the right. The figure on the left appears to be leaning on their left hand while the right arm is less defined. The figure on the right has a simple hairstyle or possibly a hat that covers their head. Both figures are wearing loose-fitting garments. The background consists of undetailed sketch lines.
