The artwork titled “Bella in her Pluto T-Shirt” was created by Lucian Freud in 1995. It belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is categorized under the portrait genre.
The artwork depicts a figure seated in a woven chair, with a relaxed posture. The subject is wearing a t-shirt featuring a design of Pluto, which serves as a focal point in the otherwise monochromatic composition. The intricate detailing of the chair contrasts with the fluid and expressive lines used to capture the figure’s form, contributing to the emotional depth characteristic of Expressionism. The artist employs fine cross-hatching and shading techniques to create texture and dimension, capturing the contemplative demeanor of the subject.
