Man with a Blue Scarf 2005

"Man with a Blue Scarf" is a 2005 portrait by renowned British artist Lucian Freud. Known for his realism and intense psychological scrutiny of his subjects, Freud captures the sitter's gaze and features in meticulous detail. The bold strokes of paint and vivid color palette give the work a distinct immediacy, characteristic of Freud's later style. The blue scarf, a focal point of the composition, adds a touch of color against the predominantly dark background, further drawing the viewer's attention to the sitter's face.
