"Standing Nude Three-quarter View to the Right, Arms at Side" is a pencil drawing by American artist Mark Rothko. The drawing, completed sometime before his death in 1970, depicts a female nude standing with her arms at her side. The figure is rendered in a loose, expressive style, with a focus on capturing the essence of the human form rather than creating a realistic portrait. Rothko is best known for his abstract color field paintings, however, his early works, such as this drawing, show a more figurative style, influenced by both European modernism and the American realist tradition.
