Grand Interior, Notting Hill 1998

Lucian Freud’s 1998 painting *Grand Interior, Notting Hill* is a striking example of his signature style. The painting features a man reading a book in an armchair while another man holds a baby in a nearby chair. A dog lies beneath the armchair. Freud, known for his realistic, almost photographic, portrayal of subjects, uses brushstrokes that emphasize the textures of skin, hair, and clothing. The painting's composition is both intimate and expansive, revealing Freud's mastery of light and shadow.
