A commanding example of Lucian Freud's unflinching approach to the human form, this etching with drypoint presents a reclining figure rendered with raw psychological intensity and meticulous attention to the body's weight and texture. The deep, velvety lines characteristic of drypoint work alongside the precision of etching to create a rich tonal surface, printed on the heavyweight Arches 300gsm paper that lends the work a sense of permanence and depth. The full margins preserve the sheet's integrity, highlighting Freud's masterful draftsmanship and his ability to convey vulnerability and presence through the graphic medium.
