Head of a Girl 1976

"Head of a Girl" is a 1976 oil painting by renowned British artist Lucian Freud. Known for his intensely realistic portraits, Freud captures the subject's expression with remarkable detail. The painting's intimate scale and close-up composition draw the viewer into the subject's gaze, creating a sense of vulnerability and introspection. This work is a prime example of Freud's signature style, characterized by thick impasto and a focus on the raw, physical presence of his sitters.
