Three Seated Figures 

"Three Seated Figures" is a sketch by abstract expressionist artist Mark Rothko, known for his later large-scale color field paintings. This sketch, created in pencil on paper, depicts three figures in a simple, gestural style, highlighting Rothko's early exploration of form and composition. The figures are seated, their poses suggesting a moment of contemplation or conversation. The minimal detail and emphasis on line give the drawing a sense of intimacy and rawness. The work offers a glimpse into Rothko's artistic development before he moved towards his more iconic abstract style.
