Twombly's works on paper combine pencil and ink in gestural, exploratory mark making that shares Richter's interest in layered surfaces and chromatic abstraction. His chronological series of drawings similarly treat paper as a daily record of sensation and thought rather than a finished compositional object.

Marden's late ink and pencil drawings on paper feature gestural line work built through layered chromatic passages that closely parallel Richter's colored ink and pencil practice. Both artists share a perceptual inquiry into how media interact on a surface, producing abstract drawing that feels simultaneously systematic and freely exploratory.

Förg produced prolific series of gestural works on paper combining ink and pencil with vibrant chromatic abstraction rooted in a German expressionist sensibility that aligns closely with this Richter drawing. His practice of treating works on paper as an ongoing exploratory record rather than preparatory studies mirrors the serial, dated quality of Richter's late drawing output.
