Lucian Freud — Pluto Aged Twelve
Lucian Freud

Pluto Aged Twelve

A masterfully rendered etching by Lucian Freud, *Pluto Aged Twelve* captures the artist's beloved whippet with the same unflinching intimacy he brought to his figurative work. The animal's form is rendered with Freud's characteristic intensity, the fine lines of the etching technique conveying the texture of fur and the weight of the creature's resting body. Printed on Somerset Textured paper with full margins, the work exemplifies Freud's extraordinary draftsmanship and his deep, observational connection to his subjects.
