Two Sketches: Nude in an Interior and Still Life with Bottles and Vase [verso] 

This artwork, "Two Sketches: Nude in an Interior and Still Life with Bottles and Vase [verso]," is a pen and ink drawing by Mark Rothko. The sketch is divided into two sections, one depicting a nude figure in an interior and the other showcasing a still life with bottles and a vase. The drawing is an example of Rothko's early work, completed before he transitioned to his signature abstract style, where gestural lines and ink blots give a sense of movement and exploration. The artist is renowned for his color-field paintings, but his exploration of figure and still life subjects through sketchwork offers a different perspective on his creative process.
