Untitled [female nude standing beside a stool] 1955 - 1967

This 1955-1967 ink drawing, "Untitled [female nude standing beside a stool]," by Richard Diebenkorn, is a minimalist depiction of a nude female figure standing beside a stool. The figure is rendered in thin, fluid lines, with the artist emphasizing the body's curves and contours. The piece is characteristic of Diebenkorn's early work, which often explored figuration and the human form, foreshadowing his later development of the "Ocean Park" series of abstract landscape paintings.
