Untitled [woman reclining in a dress with hand to mouth] 1955 - 1967

This charcoal drawing by American artist Richard Diebenkorn, created between 1955 and 1967, depicts a woman in a reclining pose. Diebenkorn is known for his abstract and figurative works, and this drawing exemplifies his exploration of the human form. The artist's signature, "RD", is visible on the lower right of the image, and his loose and gestural style adds a sense of movement and energy to the piece. The figure is rendered in a simplified, yet expressive manner, emphasizing the contours of the body through bold black lines. This work is a prime example of Diebenkorn's ability to capture the essence of human anatomy with both precision and fluidity.
