Untitled [seated nude wearing a sandal and pulling her foot into a chair] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn’s "Untitled [seated nude wearing a sandal and pulling her foot into a chair]" is a charcoal drawing on paper created between 1955 and 1967. This sketch depicts a seated nude, with a focus on the figure's form and posture. The loose, gestural lines of the charcoal create a sense of movement and spontaneity. Diebenkorn was known for his figurative work, and this piece exemplifies his interest in the human form. The minimalist style, with its emphasis on line, is characteristic of Diebenkorn's early work, as he developed his mature, abstract style.
