Untitled [seated nude with her left arm resting on her thigh] 1955 - 1967

"Untitled [seated nude with her left arm resting on her thigh]" is a charcoal drawing created by Richard Diebenkorn between 1955 and 1967. The drawing is a study of the human figure, depicting a seated nude female figure in a simple and direct manner. Diebenkorn’s use of charcoal creates a sense of volume and form, and the drawing's gestural lines highlight the contours of the figure. This intimate and minimalist drawing is characteristic of Diebenkorn's early work, which was primarily focused on figurative studies. The work is an example of figure drawing, a fundamental practice in art education and a staple of many art schools.
