Untitled (Seated Couple) c. 1932

"Untitled (Seated Couple)" is a charcoal drawing on paper created by the American artist Mark Rothko, known for his abstract work, in 1932. It depicts a couple seated together, their forms rendered with bold, expressive strokes. The composition is intimate and focused on the figures, suggesting a close connection between the couple. Rothko’s early works often explored figuration and the human condition, and this drawing reflects this interest. His later career shifted towards abstract expressionism, but this early piece showcases his talent for capturing emotion and intimacy in his art.
