Untitled [seated nude with left elbow on knee] 1955 - 1967

This ink drawing of a seated nude, created by American artist Richard Diebenkorn between 1955 and 1967, exemplifies his mastery of line and form. The gestural strokes, characteristic of his style, capture the fluidity and dynamism of the figure. The subject's pose, with the left elbow resting on the knee, evokes a sense of introspection and contemplation. Diebenkorn's exploration of the human form, often presented in simplified and abstracted forms, underscores his interest in figuration and its relationship to the surrounding space. The drawing's loose and expressive execution further highlights the artist's emphasis on the process of creation.
