Standing Female Nude, Head Tilted Left 

This ink drawing, "Standing Female Nude, Head Tilted Left" by Mark Rothko is a quick sketch of a nude woman, standing with her head tilted to the left. The simple lines of the drawing convey the figure's form in a gestural and expressive way. This piece is a rare example of figural work by Rothko, who is better known for his abstract color field paintings. This sketch likely dates from the artist's earlier career, before he achieved fame as a major figure in Abstract Expressionism.
