Mark Rothko

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

The sketch shows two individuals seated, partially above the knees. The person on the left looks slightly down and forward, with their body angled towards the viewer. Their facial features are softly outlined, including a subtle expression and short hair. They wear a light-colored outfit with rolled-up sleeves. On the right, the second person is seated in a sideways position with their head turned slightly upward and to the left. They have defined facial features and darker, potentially longer hair, and wear darker clothing. The background features simple, light sketch lines for shading and depth, emphasizing the figures.
