Untitled [seated female nude holding her elbow] 1955 - 1967

"Untitled [seated female nude holding her elbow]" is a charcoal drawing by Richard Diebenkorn, created between 1955 and 1967. The artwork depicts a seated female nude with her elbow resting on her thigh, the figure is partially obscured by a gestural use of charcoal, creating a sense of abstract form. Diebenkorn is known for his abstract expressionist work, which often featured the human figure as a subject. This drawing exemplifies his style, with its loose lines and emphasis on form over detail. The drawing's gestural and abstract qualities make it a compelling example of Diebenkorn's artistic approach to the human figure.
