Woman in a White Shirt 1957

"Woman in a White Shirt" is a 1957 painting by Lucian Freud, one of the most prominent British artists of the 20th century. Freud was known for his intensely realistic, often unflinching portraits, frequently focusing on the human form and its vulnerabilities. This portrait, rendered in thick impasto, exemplifies his signature style, showcasing his masterful use of paint to depict the subtle nuances of skin texture and the weight of the sitter's gaze. The work invites the viewer to contemplate the subject's inner life, captured in a moment of introspection.
