Two Seated Boys 

"Two Seated Boys" is a charcoal drawing by Mark Rothko, an American painter known for his abstract expressionist works. While Rothko is most famous for his colorful, large-scale abstract paintings, this early drawing shows the artist’s interest in figuration and draftsmanship. The simple yet expressive lines capture the essence of two young boys, creating a sense of quiet intimacy. While the subject matter seems ordinary, it hints at Rothko's exploration of human emotion and experience, themes that would later dominate his abstract works.
