Untitled [kneeling female nude with clasped hands] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's *Untitled [kneeling female nude with clasped hands]* is a black and white ink drawing from 1955 to 1967. The piece depicts a female nude in a seated position with her knees drawn up to her chest. Diebenkorn's distinct style is evident in the fluid lines and gestural marks that define the figure. The drawing's abstract qualities and emphasis on form are characteristic of his work in the 1950s and 1960s, known as his "figure" period.
