Figures Walking Down the Street at Night 

This artwork, "Figures Walking Down the Street at Night," is a sketch by American abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko (1903-1970). It's unclear when he created this piece. The artwork shows a night scene with a building on the left and three figures walking on a street. The figures are rendered with simple lines, while the building is drawn more realistically. This sketch shows the abstract style that Rothko was known for later in his career. The building and figures are mostly dark, but their edges are outlined in light colors. This work demonstrates Rothko's interest in the human figure and city life.
