Reading Woman in Chair with Right Hand near Mouth 

"Reading Woman in Chair with Right Hand near Mouth" is a pen and ink drawing by Mark Rothko. The drawing depicts a woman seated in a chair, her right hand near her mouth, suggesting contemplation or introspection. Rothko, known for his abstract color field paintings, here explores a more figurative subject. The simple lines and delicate shading create a sense of intimacy and quietude, characteristic of his later works. This drawing, though smaller in scale, provides a glimpse into the artist's interest in the human figure and his signature minimalist aesthetic.
