Untitled [seated female nude with crossed legs] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn’s Untitled [seated female nude with crossed legs] is a powerful, gestural ink drawing on paper from 1955-1967. The artist uses bold, expressive lines to capture the form of a seated female nude. Diebenkorn, a prominent figure in the Bay Area Figurative Movement, is known for his focus on the human figure, and his work is characterized by its simplicity and elegance. The artist's deliberate decision to leave the face unrendered adds to the enigmatic quality of the work.
