One Seated and One Standing 1966

Philip Pearlstein's 1966 ink drawing "One Seated and One Standing" portrays two nude figures. The seated woman occupies the foreground, facing the viewer, while the standing woman's back is turned. This work is a study in anatomy and form, as the figures are rendered with a sharp, realistic precision. The use of brown ink creates a sense of depth and volume, further highlighting the physicality of the subjects. Pearlstein is known for his depictions of the human body, emphasizing the everyday and the mundane.
