Untitled [seated female nude in a partially draped armchair] c. 1957

This ink drawing by Richard Diebenkorn, created around 1957, depicts a seated female nude in a partially draped armchair. The artist's use of gestural lines and washes of ink creates a sense of immediacy and movement, capturing the figure's form with expressive looseness. The composition is simple yet striking, focusing on the figure's elongated limbs and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. This work is a fine example of Diebenkorn's early style, characterized by its figuration and exploration of the human form.
