Seated Woman Leaning Back and to the Right, Looking Down at Her Hands 

This minimalist pencil drawing by Mark Rothko depicts a seated woman, likely a self-portrait of Rothko's wife, looking down at her hands. The simplified, almost skeletal lines of the figure create a sense of isolation and introspection, reflecting the artist's interest in exploring the human condition and emotional states. Though not a typical subject for the artist known for his abstract color-field paintings, the drawing offers a glimpse into Rothko's artistic development and his exploration of form and line.
