Untitled [torso of female nude] 1955 - 1967

"Untitled [torso of female nude]" is a 1955-1967 charcoal drawing by Richard Diebenkorn. It is a study of the female form, rendered with Diebenkorn's signature expressive lines and shading. The drawing showcases the artist's mastery of capturing the essence of the human body through simplified gestures and a focus on the torso. This work is a fine example of Diebenkorn's early exploration of figuration, which later transitioned into his iconic "Ocean Park" series.
