Ruth Bromberg Seated I 1994

Frank Auerbach’s 1994 drawing, "Ruth Bromberg Seated I", captures the essence of his signature style. This expressive work, created with charcoal on paper, depicts the artist’s longtime muse, Ruth Bromberg, in a seated pose. Auerbach's distinctive approach to figuration is evident in the gestural lines and layers of charcoal, forming a dense and textured surface that suggests the sitter's physical presence. This drawing is a testament to Auerbach's dedication to capturing the human form through repeated and intense observation.
