Untitled [male nude holding the arm of a female nude] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [male nude holding the arm of a female nude]" is a charcoal drawing depicting a pair of nudes. The male figure is depicted on the right, standing with his arm outstretched and holding the female figure's arm. The female figure is standing with her head tilted down as she stares towards the ground. Created between 1955 and 1967, the piece exemplifies Diebenkorn’s exploration of human form and gesture. The loose, expressive lines and minimal details contribute to the work's sense of intimacy and vulnerability.
