Untitled [seated female nude with short hair] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [seated female nude with short hair]" is a charcoal drawing from 1955-1967. This striking drawing is a study in figure drawing, capturing the essence of the human form through gestural lines and shading. Diebenkorn, known for his abstract expressionist work, often used figure studies as a foundation for his larger canvases. The simplified forms and bold lines in this drawing reveal the artist's interest in exploring the relationship between the figure and space, a theme central to his artistic practice.
