Untitled [seated female nude looking down] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [seated female nude looking down]" is a black and white ink drawing of a nude female figure. Executed between 1955 and 1967, this work exemplifies Diebenkorn’s interest in the human form and his ability to capture the essence of the figure with a few expressive strokes. His distinctive gestural style, influenced by Abstract Expressionism, gives a sense of immediacy and spontaneity to the piece. The figure is depicted in a seated position, looking down, and the composition is dominated by the strong lines and areas of dark ink. The use of negative space in the background creates a sense of depth, adding to the overall dynamic energy of this small drawing.
