Untitled [female nude in profile] [verso] 1955 - 1967

"Untitled [female nude in profile] [verso]" is a charcoal drawing by American artist Richard Diebenkorn, created between 1955 and 1967. The work depicts a female nude figure in profile, with the artist's characteristic fluid lines and gestural marks. The figure is rendered with a sense of immediacy, capturing the energy and spontaneity of the artist's drawing process. Diebenkorn's studies of the human form and the use of charcoal and graphite created an abstract, yet still expressive, portrait. The drawing is also notable for its subtle layering and the use of negative space, which contributes to its overall sense of depth and ambiguity.
