Mark Rothko

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

The sketch shows a person depicted from the torso up to the knees, sitting in a sideways position with their legs drawn up and one arm resting across their body. The facial features are minimalistic, with a slightly downturned profile. The person's hair is drawn simply, with lines suggesting short hair under a hat or head wrap. They appear to be draped with a fabric or cloth over their upper body. The drawing is executed with bold, expressive charcoal lines that give depth to the figure against the plain background. The surrounding space is left largely undefined, allowing the figure to stand out against the simple backdrop.
