Untitled [female nude seated on stool with hands on knees] 1955 - 1967

This untitled work by Richard Diebenkorn from the mid-20th century depicts a female nude seated on a stool. The drawing, created using charcoal, ink, and blue wash on paper, features gestural, expressive brushstrokes that give the figure a sense of movement and dynamism. The artist’s abstract approach to the human form emphasizes the energy and fluidity of the subject, rather than focusing on anatomical accuracy. This style is characteristic of Diebenkorn's early work, which often explored the figure through a simplified and gestural approach.
