Standing Man [recto] 

"Standing Man" is an ink drawing by abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko. It's an early work by the artist, who is more well-known for his large, colorful abstract canvases, and reflects his interest in figurative work. The drawing features a simplified figure with minimal detail, which is characteristic of Rothko's early style. The loose, gestural strokes and dark tones give the work an expressive quality. The drawing's focus on a single figure with minimal background suggests an exploration of human presence and the artist’s own internal landscape.
