Two Seated Girls 

This loose and gestural sketch titled "Two Seated Girls" was created by renowned American Abstract Expressionist artist Mark Rothko. Executed in graphite on paper, the work portrays the artist's early interest in figurative subjects, which he later abandoned in favor of his signature abstract color field paintings. The drawing depicts two seated figures, a young girl and a slightly older woman, with a simple, yet expressive, use of line. This is an important work in understanding Rothko's stylistic development, as it shows the artist's early exploration of form and composition.
