Seated Nude, Head Turned Right, Hands on Ankles 

"Seated Nude, Head Turned Right, Hands on Ankles" is a pencil drawing by Mark Rothko. The work, created sometime before his death in 1970, depicts a seated female figure in a simplified, gestural style. The figure's form is rendered with loose, expressive lines, emphasizing the contours of the body and creating a sense of volume. Rothko is best known for his abstract color-field paintings, but his earlier work, like this drawing, reveals his interest in figuration and human anatomy, which he explored through sketches and studies.
