Mark Rothko

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

The image is a sketch showing a person playing a guitar. The person is seated, leaning slightly forward with one hand on the fretboard and the other hand strumming near the sound hole. The person's facial features are minimally sketched, with a downward tilt of the head. The person has short hair styled to one side and is wearing casual clothing - a long-sleeve shirt and pants. The background is plain.
