Portrait of a Man 

This ink drawing, "Portrait of a Man," by American Abstract Expressionist Mark Rothko, portrays a man's face and shoulders. The artist uses bold, gestural brushstrokes to depict the figure, emphasizing the subject's presence through the use of dark and light areas, creating a sense of depth and emotion. Rothko is best known for his color-field paintings, but his early works, like this one, show his interest in figuration and exploring the human form with a bold, expressive style.
