Untitled [female nude resting on a striped pillow] [recto] 1955 - 1967

This untitled charcoal drawing, created between 1955 and 1967, showcases the distinctive style of American artist Richard Diebenkorn. The drawing, featuring a reclining female nude, is a study in form and line, highlighting Diebenkorn's exploration of the human figure. The artist's use of gestural strokes and loose, expressive lines creates a dynamic and fluid sense of movement, while the use of shading emphasizes the contours of the figure. This work exemplifies Diebenkorn's interest in the figure, which he explored throughout his career, often using it as a vehicle for investigating form, space, and composition.
