Untitled [standing female nude with left hand raised to chin] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [standing female nude with left hand raised to chin]" is a striking black and white drawing created between 1955 and 1967. The figure, rendered in gestural strokes, is depicted in a contemplative pose, her left hand resting on her chin. Diebenkorn, known for his abstract expressionist works, explores the human figure through a simplified and expressive approach, capturing a sense of both vulnerability and strength in the subject's pose. The use of stark black and white against a light background emphasizes the form and creates a powerful visual impact.
