(Untitled) 

This untitled lithograph by Mark Rothko depicts two figures, possibly a mother and child, in a moment of intimate embrace. Created in a gestural and expressive style, the artwork is characterized by bold, sweeping lines and a focus on emotional intensity. The use of black ink on paper creates a stark contrast, further enhancing the feeling of drama and intimacy within the composition. This piece, created by the artist before he became known for his abstract color-field paintings, offers a glimpse into Rothko's early exploration of figurative expression.
