Frontal Nude Seated, Arms at Side 

"Frontal Nude Seated, Arms at Side" is a figure drawing by American artist Mark Rothko, known for his abstract expressionist paintings. The simple black ink lines capture the essence of the female form, a common subject matter for Rothko during his early career. The drawing's loose lines and slight distortion suggest a quick study, capturing a fleeting moment of the model. It contrasts sharply with his later, abstract works, revealing the artist's artistic development. This study exemplifies Rothko's interest in human anatomy and his ability to evoke emotion through simple lines.
