Untitled [female nude reclining on a spread blanket] 1955 - 1967

This untitled drawing by Richard Diebenkorn, created sometime between 1955 and 1967, depicts a female nude reclining on a blanket. The minimalist lines suggest a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. Diebenkorn, known for his abstract paintings and figure drawings, often explored themes of the human body and its relationship to space, evident here in the figure's relaxed pose and the subtle contours of the blanket. The work's simplicity and delicate use of line capture a fleeting moment, characteristic of Diebenkorn's artistic practice.
