This ink drawing, "Standing Man with Hand in Pocket [verso]," is a work by American artist Mark Rothko, renowned for his abstract color field paintings. While it's not a typical example of his later abstract style, the simple lines and gestural approach reveal Rothko's early exploration of form and composition. The figure is depicted in a loose, expressive style, capturing the artist's interest in the human form.
