Untitled [standing nude reaching down to adjust her stocking] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [standing nude reaching down to adjust her stocking]" is a quick sketch of a standing nude, rendered in black and grey. The subject is captured mid-gesture, reaching down to her foot, highlighting the dynamism and immediacy of the artist's mark-making. The lines are loose and expressive, emphasizing the artist's interest in capturing the essence of the human form. Diebenkorn's drawings, often executed in charcoal and pastel, are known for their expressive lines and ability to capture a sense of movement and energy. This piece exemplifies his work in the early 1960s, a period marked by an exploration of figure studies.
