Man Seated in Wicker Chair, Turned to the Left 

This ink drawing by American abstract expressionist artist Mark Rothko depicts a seated figure in profile. The sketch is minimalist in style, with lines that define the body and furniture, and a simple hatched pattern used for shading. Rothko's later works are known for their abstract color fields, but the drawing hints at his early interest in the human figure. The sketch could be a study or a casual exploration of form, but like his mature work, the simple lines evoke a sense of isolation and introspection.
