Seated Female Nude Supporting Head, Right Leg Resting on Left 

This drawing by Mark Rothko depicts a seated female nude in a simplified, gestural style. The figure is rendered with loose, expressive lines that capture the form with a sense of immediacy. The artist's signature use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of volume and depth, further emphasizing the body's contours. The piece showcases Rothko's early exploration of figuration, a theme he would later abandon in favor of his iconic abstract color-field paintings. While this work is a departure from his later abstract style, it still bears the marks of Rothko's artistic sensibilities, particularly in its use of line and form.
