Portrait of a Man, Head Turned Slightly to Left

Mark Rothko

Associated Names

Mark Rothko

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

The image is a watercolor painting of a person's face, with abstract features. The head is angled to the side, revealing a portion of the neck and shoulders. The facial features are distinct but broad, with dark eyes, arched eyebrows, a nose, and a mouth. The hair is dark and loosely rendered, blending into the background. The person appears to be wearing a blue garment, and the background has earthy tones that complement the subject's features.
