Portrait of Julia 2000

Frank Auerbach's "Portrait of Julia" (2000) is a striking example of his signature style, known for its gestural brushstrokes and intensely layered paint. The portrait captures the essence of Julia, a recurring subject in Auerbach's work, through a series of overlapping lines and thick impasto, creating a sense of depth and volume. The artist's unique approach emphasizes the physicality of the sitter, conveying both her presence and the passage of time.
