Portrait of a Head 2001

Lucian Freud’s 2001 etching “Portrait of a Head” is a striking example of his signature style. The artist’s detailed rendering of the sitter’s face and hair creates a sense of realism and depth, while the simplified lines of the scarf and clothing add a touch of abstraction. Freud was a master of portraiture, known for his unflinching gaze and ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This work is a testament to his skill and vision.
