Associated Names

Mark Rothko

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

The image displays a full-body sketch of a seated person. The individual's hands are resting on their lap, legs slightly apart. The person has medium-length hair styled with a headband and is wearing a short-sleeved dress that reaches the knees. The facial features are softly drawn with a neutral expression. The sketch is monochromatic, created with pencil lines to depict clothing texture and shadows. The background is plain, focusing on the central figure.
