Untitled [reclining female nude wearing a necklace] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's "Untitled [reclining female nude wearing a necklace]" (1955-1967) is a minimalist ink drawing of a nude female figure. The subject is depicted in a reclining pose with her head resting on her arm, her form reduced to simple lines and contours. The artist's signature style of gestural lines and simplified forms create a sense of immediacy and spontaneity in the piece. The drawing showcases Diebenkorn's mastery of line and his exploration of the human figure. The piece provides a glimpse into the artist's working process, as it appears to be a quick sketch that captures the essence of the subject. This work, despite its lack of detail, is considered a fine example of Diebenkorn's exploration of the human form.
