1934, Mark Rothko, Untitled (seated woman in striped blouse) [watercolor] -- National Gallery of Art (Washington)
From the museum label: In this portrait, pools of paint are offset by untouched construction paper, a material also used by Rothko's young students. Watercolor billows in currents around the woman's head, beneath her chin, and at the base of her neck, conveying a forceful personality. This work illustrates how Rothko took advantage of the often-unpredictable results produced by such a liquid paint.
