Untitled [seated female nude with left leg tucked under] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [seated female nude with left leg tucked under]" is a 1955 - 1967 pencil drawing on paper, featuring a minimalist, gestural depiction of a seated nude female figure. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner of the drawing, signifying a quick study of the human form. The artist's loose, expressive lines convey a sense of movement and form, characteristic of Diebenkorn's artistic style, which combined elements of Abstract Expressionism with figuration. This work is a valuable example of Diebenkorn's early studies of the human figure and his exploration of line and form in a minimalist style.
