A powerful portrait etching by Frank Auerbach, *Julia* captures his signature intensity through densely worked lines that build a raw, visceral likeness of his subject. The deep, scratched marks of the etching needle create a turbulent surface of shadow and form, characteristic of Auerbach's obsessive reworking of familiar faces. Printed on Arches paper with full margins, the work balances the physicality of his mark-making against the quiet elegance of the medium.
