Seated Nude Leaning to the Right, Head Lowered 

"Seated Nude Leaning to the Right, Head Lowered" is a pencil drawing by abstract expressionist artist Mark Rothko, executed sometime between 1903 and 1970. The drawing depicts a seated nude figure from a slightly elevated perspective with their head lowered. The simplified lines and heavy shading of the drawing focus on the form of the human body and embody the reductive style that Rothko would later adapt to his abstract works. The drawing demonstrates Rothko’s early engagement with figuration, which would inform his later abstract explorations.
