Untitled [nude seated with her hands on her knees] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [nude seated with her hands on her knees]" is a striking example of his early work. Created between 1955 and 1967, this ink drawing features a simplified, gestural outline of a seated nude figure. Diebenkorn's signature use of line and the starkness of the black ink against the off-white paper make this a compelling work of art that captures the essence of the human form. The piece's rawness and unrefined lines also suggest a quick sketch, capturing a fleeting moment of the artist's process, which is a common theme in Diebenkorn's work.
