Untitled [female nude leaning back in chair and facing right [verso] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled" (1955-1967) is a striking example of his gestural and abstract approach to figure drawing. The artist's signature loose lines and washes of grey and black create a sense of movement and dynamism, drawing the viewer's eye across the surface of the paper. Despite the lack of detail, the reclining figure is clearly identifiable, highlighting Diebenkorn's fascination with the human form and its interaction with space. The simplicity of the composition and the suggestive nature of the lines create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability, inviting the viewer to contemplate the figure's presence.
