Man Standing, Looking to the Right, Hand on Chair 

This graphite drawing by Mark Rothko, titled "Man Standing, Looking to the Right, Hand on Chair," depicts a solitary figure in a casual pose. The subject's gaze is directed towards the right, and their hand rests on a chair, creating a sense of quiet contemplation. The artist's use of loose, gestural lines and shading captures the essence of the human form in a minimalist style characteristic of his later work. The subject's expression is partially obscured, lending an air of mystery to the piece. This small drawing is a rare example of Rothko's exploration of figuration, offering a glimpse into his artistic process before he shifted towards his iconic abstract color-field paintings.
