Seated Nude Facing Front, Head Turned to the Left 

This drawing by Mark Rothko, titled "Seated Nude Facing Front, Head Turned to the Left," features a gestural sketch of a nude woman seated in profile. Rothko's signature abstract style is not readily apparent in this work, which features a more representational approach to the human form. The quick and loose lines of the sketch suggest the artist was focused on capturing the essence of the pose rather than creating a highly finished work. This piece reveals a side of Rothko's artistic practice that was less explored in his later career, showcasing his early exploration of figuration.
