Untitled [front view of a female nude seated on a bed] [recto] 1955 - 1967

This is a charcoal drawing by American artist Richard Diebenkorn, dating from the mid-20th century. The piece depicts a seated female nude, rendered in a loose and gestural style, characteristic of Diebenkorn's work. The minimal detail and emphasis on line evoke a sense of immediacy and intimacy, highlighting the artist's focus on capturing the essence of the figure. Diebenkorn is renowned for his contributions to Abstract Expressionism and his development of the "Ocean Park" series of paintings, which are characterized by their vibrant colors and geometric compositions.
