Created one day before the May 24 cluster, this May 23 drawing captures a singular creative moment within Richter's concentrated late-period drawing practice. Without a sequence number, it stands alone as the sole work attributed to that date, lending it a quiet singularity among the May 2023 group. The ink and pencil medium allows for both expressive spontaneity and measured precision, qualities that have defined Richter's practice across vastly different bodies of work over six decades. Its place within this small constellation of dated works highlights how Richter continues to treat each day in the studio as both a ritual and an open-ended investigation.
