Untitled [model draped over another model's shoulders] 1955 - 1967

This is a pencil drawing by Richard Diebenkorn, created sometime between 1955 and 1967, and titled "Untitled [model draped over another model's shoulders]". The drawing depicts two figures, one draped over the other's shoulders, with an emphasis on the lines and form of the human body.

This drawing is an example of his exploration of figuration in a simplified, gestural manner, characteristic of his artistic style.
