Untitled [seated female nude holding right leg] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's Untitled [seated female nude holding right leg] is a monochrome drawing created in 1955-1967. The piece depicts a seated female nude with bold black and gray lines using brushstrokes that evoke the loose and gestural style of Abstract Expressionism. It is a powerful and evocative image, where the female form is depicted with bold, confident lines and the background is rendered with loose strokes. The drawing exemplifies Diebenkorn's exploration of figure and form in the years leading up to his iconic Ocean Park series.
