Seated Woman Looking Right 

This is a pencil sketch by Mark Rothko, known for his abstract expressionist paintings. It shows a seated woman looking right, a simplified form with gestural lines, emphasizing movement and mood. The sketch reveals Rothko’s early exploration of figuration, a departure from his later, more abstract style. The figure's pose and the artist's use of line suggest a sense of introspection and quietude, characteristic of Rothko's work.
