Bust-length Portrait of Woman in Profile to Left 

This ink drawing by Mark Rothko, a prominent figure in Abstract Expressionism, is a simple yet expressive portrait of a woman. The subject's profile is emphasized, creating a sense of introspective contemplation. Though a departure from his later, large-scale abstract paintings, this piece demonstrates Rothko's early interest in figuration and his skill as a draftsman. The delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of depth and volume.
