Untitled [study of hands, legs, and dress of a seated woman] 1955 - 1967

This 1955-1967 drawing by Richard Diebenkorn, titled *Untitled [study of hands, legs, and dress of a seated woman]*, depicts a seated woman, but only her lower body and hands. It is a study of form, light, and shadow, created with a pencil. Diebenkorn is known for his abstract paintings of the California landscape, and this drawing reflects the artist’s interest in the human figure and his ongoing exploration of the relationship between abstraction and representation. This study exemplifies Diebenkorn's skill in capturing the complexities of human anatomy and the play of light and shadow on the human form.
