Study of a Standing Female Figure

Mark Rothko

Associated Names

Mark Rothko

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

The image displays pencil outlines and shapes on a beige, textured background. On the right side, there is an elongated oval shape with two smaller ovals inside. On the left, a collection of curves and lines suggests a figure in a hooded robe. In the lower portion, irregular squiggly lines and a few straight ones may represent a picket fence or furrowed ground. The composition is abstract and open to interpretation.
