Untitled [standing female nude with arms akimbo] 1955 - 1967

"Untitled [standing female nude with arms akimbo]" is a drawing created by Richard Diebenkorn in 1955-1967. The work depicts a standing female nude, rendered in a loose and gestural style characteristic of Diebenkorn's early works. The figure is depicted with bold, expressive strokes, emphasizing the artist's interest in capturing the essence of the human form through rapid, spontaneous mark-making. The drawing is a powerful example of Diebenkorn's transition from abstract expressionism towards the figurative style that would define his later work.
