"Woman Seated on a Sofa Reading" is a painting by Mark Rothko, renowned for his abstract expressionist style. The painting captures a fleeting moment, suggesting a woman absorbed in a book, her form rendered in loose strokes and vibrant colors. The background, a muted green, provides a stark contrast to the figure, emphasizing the subject's isolation and introspection. The artwork showcases Rothko's distinctive approach to figuration, emphasizing emotion and mood over precise representation.
