Large Interior, London W.9. 1973

Lucian Freud's 1973 painting, *Large Interior, London W.9.*, is a striking example of his signature realist style. The artwork depicts a woman in a black dress, seated in a leather armchair, and another reclining on a bed in the background. The subject matter is mundane, but Freud's detailed brushstrokes and unidealized portrayal of the figures lend a powerful sense of realism to the scene. The painting captures the intimacy of a domestic setting, highlighting the quiet moments of everyday life, which are characteristic of Freud's work.
