Untitled [seated nude leaning on hands] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn’s “Untitled [seated nude leaning on hands]” is a striking ink drawing created between 1955 and 1967. The work depicts a nude female figure in a seated pose, leaning forward with her hands supporting her weight. The artist’s signature gestural style is evident in the fluid lines and sweeping strokes that define the figure’s form. The minimalist approach and emphasis on contour evoke a sense of both vulnerability and strength in the subject. The drawing reflects Diebenkorn’s artistic exploration of figuration and abstraction, capturing the essence of the human form while maintaining a sense of ambiguity and movement.
