Dated '19.9.2022,' this small ink and pencil work on paper belongs to the intimate body of drawings Richter has produced in his ninth decade, works that have attracted considerable attention as a new dimension of his practice. The combination of ink and pencil suggests a layered approach, possibly involving gestural ink washes overlaid or underdrawn with pencil marks, producing a meditative, reduced image. Richter's use of calendar-date titles for recent works positions them as diary-like records, linking the act of drawing to the passage of lived time. These late drawings are widely seen as a return to the most direct and vulnerable form of mark-making. The work reflects a quieter, more introspective register compared to his monumental paintings.
