Large Standing Female Nude Turned to the Left, Hand on Hip 

This pencil drawing, "Large Standing Female Nude Turned to the Left, Hand on Hip," is a work by the American Abstract Expressionist artist Mark Rothko. Dated to the 1930s, the artwork is a study in figure drawing, capturing the human form in its most basic elements. The work is notable for its simplified lines and shaded forms, which suggest a focus on volume and structure rather than meticulous detail. Rothko's interest in the figure would later evolve into his iconic color-field paintings, but this drawing offers a glimpse into his earlier exploration of form.
