Untitled [seated female nude with right foot on stretcher of chair] 1955 - 1967

This untitled work by Richard Diebenkorn is a study of a seated female nude. Executed in black ink on paper, the piece is a quick, gestural sketch, capturing the pose of the model in broad strokes. The artist's use of lines and washes create a sense of movement and energy, conveying the fleeting nature of the model's pose. Diebenkorn, known for his "Ocean Park" series of abstract paintings, frequently explored the figure in his early works. This sketch, created between 1955 and 1967, showcases the artist's interest in the human form and his ability to capture its essence with minimal detail.
