Untitled [seated female nude leaning on hands] 1955 - 1967

This charcoal drawing by Richard Diebenkorn, created between 1955 and 1967, depicts a nude female figure in a seated pose. The minimalist style emphasizes the figure's form through swift, gestural lines, leaving much to the viewer's imagination. Diebenkorn, known for his abstract paintings, brings a similar sense of abstraction to this figure drawing, emphasizing the dynamic energy of the pose. The work, though untitled, exemplifies the artist's exploration of the human form in the context of abstract expressionism. This drawing, part of a larger series, showcases Diebenkorn's unique approach to figuration, blurring the line between representation and abstraction.
