Figures in a Landscape 

This early work by Mark Rothko, titled "Figures in a Landscape", depicts a scene with a group of figures walking through a park, set against a backdrop of trees and a building. The artist’s brushstrokes are visible and loose, giving the painting a spontaneous and gestural quality, as seen in the bold strokes of color that define the figures and trees. The figures in the painting appear somewhat distorted, perhaps reflecting the influence of Expressionism. While this style deviates from Rothko's later minimalist works, the painting reflects his early interest in depicting human figures and their interaction with the natural world.
