Woman Seated in a Rocker, Sewing 

This ink drawing titled “Woman Seated in a Rocker, Sewing” by abstract expressionist artist Mark Rothko (1903-1970) portrays a woman sitting in a rocking chair, sewing. Although Rothko is better known for his abstract paintings, his drawings, which he began creating in the 1940s, often featured simplified figures and gestural lines. This quick sketch, utilizing a simple, linear style with cross-hatching for shading, demonstrates the artist's skill in conveying form and movement in a small format.
