Untitled [female nude reclining on a sofa] 1955 - 1967

"Untitled [female nude reclining on a sofa]" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Richard Diebenkorn, created sometime between 1955 and 1967. The piece is a study in form and line, depicting a female nude in a reclining pose on a sofa. Diebenkorn's signature loose, gestural style is evident in the way he captures the figure's form, using bold, sweeping strokes of charcoal. This artwork is a prime example of the artist's exploration of the human figure during the mid-20th century.
