Untitled [seated nude embracing her crossed legs] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [seated nude embracing her crossed legs]" is a study in form and figure, created with ink washes on paper between 1955 and 1967. The simplified, almost abstract figure sits in a contemplative pose, legs crossed and arms folded, creating a sense of introspection. Diebenkorn's distinctive use of black and white highlights the contours of the body, leaving much to the viewer's interpretation, embodying the artist's exploration of figuration within abstract expressionism.
