Two Seated Figures 

"Two Seated Figures" is a pencil sketch by American artist Mark Rothko, known for his abstract color field paintings. This early work, created before Rothko developed his signature style, showcases a more figurative approach. The sketch depicts two seated figures, one a woman with a thoughtful expression and the other a young boy with a mischievous grin. The loose, expressive lines and shading convey a sense of intimacy and informality, capturing the essence of a fleeting moment between two individuals.
