Untitled [seated nude leaning forward on her knee] 1955 - 1967

"Untitled [seated nude leaning forward on her knee]" is a charcoal drawing by American artist Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993). Created between 1955 and 1967, the work depicts a nude female figure in a seated pose, rendered with loose, expressive lines. The drawing's minimalist style, emphasizing contour and form over detail, reflects Diebenkorn's exploration of figure drawing and his development of a distinctive artistic vocabulary. This piece is a testament to his ability to capture the essence of the human form with a few strokes, revealing both his mastery of draftsmanship and his interest in the interplay of light and shadow.
