"Sleeping by the Lion Carpet," also known as "Sue Tilley," is a 1996 painting by Lucian Freud. It depicts Sue Tilley, a frequent model of Freud's, in a reclining pose. The painting is known for its realism, particularly in its portrayal of the human body. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the work a raw and immediate quality. Freud's paintings often challenge traditional notions of beauty, celebrating the human form in its natural state.
