In the mid-1950s until the late 1960s, Rothschild's work shows strong influence from her mentor, Karl Knaths. Nauset Heights III is a breaking point in her career. Though she would retain the Ostwald Color System learned from Knaths, she begins to eliminate the use of hard line, and fractured picture plane so defining in the work of Kaths throughout his career.
