Figure Drawing Series No. 11 1966

"Figure Drawing Series No. 11" is a 1966 graphite drawing by American artist Frank Lobdell (1921-2013). The work depicts a seated nude figure, rendered in a simplified, gestural style. Lobdell's characteristic layering of hatched lines creates a sense of volume and form, emphasizing the figure's contours. The drawing's composition, featuring a figure against a simple background, suggests a focus on the expressive potential of the human form. The artwork is part of a larger series, and Lobdell's ongoing exploration of figuration through drawing can be seen in this piece.
