Woman in Hat, Seated in Wing Chair 

This pencil drawing by Mark Rothko depicts a woman in a hat seated in a wing chair. The sketch is characteristic of Rothko's early work, which focused on figuration and was inspired by the art of Picasso and Matisse. The artist's use of loose lines and shading suggests a sense of movement and energy, creating a dynamic composition that captures the fleeting moments of everyday life. This artwork predates his iconic abstract color field paintings, showcasing his early exploration of form and line.
