The artwork, titled “Garden in Winter,” was created by Lucian Freud between 1997 and 1999. It belongs to the art movement known as Contemporary Realism and is categorized under the genre of landscape. This piece measures 22.3 x 12.7 cm and is housed at the Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) in Sydney, Australia.
The artwork depicts a dense thicket of intertwining branches and leaves, rendered with meticulous attention to detail. The composition is dominated by a complex interplay of textures and lines that convey the intricate structure and stark beauty of a winter garden. The scene appears devoid of vibrant colors, reflecting the subdued and dormant state of nature during the winter season. Freud’s masterful technique captures the essence of the natural environment, producing an evocative and immersive visual experience.
