Untitled [side view of a female nude with hands clasped] 1955 - 1967

This charcoal drawing, Untitled [side view of a female nude with hands clasped] (1955-1967), by Richard Diebenkorn depicts a female nude in profile. The artist's distinctive use of line and shading is evident in the expressive strokes that define the figure's form, which appears to be a study in a simplified, yet expressive, style. Diebenkorn’s prolific output included paintings, prints, and drawings, ranging from representational to abstract styles. This intimate drawing showcases the artist's exploration of the human figure through the lens of simplified, gestural lines.
