Predating the August 12 and 13 works, this drawing from August 5, 2023 suggests Richter began an intensive drawing campaign in the first week of that month. The colored ink and pencil combination yields a delicate interplay between fluid, spreading marks and precise linear gestures. As an early entry in the summer 2023 series, it may reflect an initial exploratory impulse that evolved into the more concentrated multi-work sequences that followed. The piece affirms Richter's continued artistic vitality and his commitment to the drawn line as a vehicle for ongoing visual thought.
