Untitled [female nude seated on her knees] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [female nude seated on her knees]" (1955-1967) is a striking black ink drawing of a female nude. The artist's signature, "RD", appears in a red stamp on the lower right corner of the work. Diebenkorn, known for his abstract works, shows his early interest in figurative drawing in this work with a simple yet powerful representation of the human form. The drawing's focus on line and form, coupled with the use of ink and the small scale, create a sense of intimacy and immediacy, a testament to the artist's masterful command of line.
