Large Standing Female Nude Facing Front, Hand on Hip 

This is a pencil drawing by Mark Rothko, known for his abstract expressionist color field paintings. Created before his later abstract works, this piece shows his earlier interest in figurative art. The drawing depicts a nude female figure, rendered in a simplified, gestural style, typical of the artist's early work. The subject, with her hand on her hip, stands confidently, creating a sense of presence and volume within the composition. Though the date is unknown, its style suggests a time before the artist's color-focused work.
