Two Seated Children 

"Two Seated Children" is a watercolor painting by Mark Rothko, depicting two children seated together. Rothko is known for his abstract expressionist works but this piece from his early career shows the artist's skill in figurative painting. The use of watercolor allows for a loose and expressive style, capturing the essence of the children in a few fluid strokes. While the figures are simplified, the expressive use of color and brushstrokes contribute to the overall emotional impact of the work, a characteristic that would later come to define Rothko's mature work.
