Untitled [sketch of a profile] [verso] 1955 - 1967

This untitled sketch by Richard Diebenkorn, created between 1955 and 1967, depicts a profile of a figure, capturing a moment of contemplation. The minimal use of lines, executed in graphite, suggests a figure in repose, leaving much to the viewer's imagination. Diebenkorn's early works often explored themes of the human form, drawing influence from the tradition of figurative art. The delicate lines and the absence of detailed features contribute to the abstract quality of the artwork, making it a compelling study in minimalism and form.
