The artwork entitled “Girl in a Dark Jacket” was created by Lucian Freud in 1947. Executed in oil on canvas, this portrait exemplifies the Expressionism movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 38.1 x 47 cm, and it currently resides in a private collection.
The artwork features a close-up portrayal of a young girl with long, dark, wavy hair, wearing a dark jacket over a lighter top. The girl’s expression is striking, with large, pronounced eyes that seem to gaze directly at the viewer. The background is a simple, muted tone, which ensures that the viewer’s focus remains on the subject of the portrait. The meticulous brushwork in the girl’s hair and clothing showcases Freud’s technical skill and attention to detail, qualities that highlight the emotional depth and unique characteristics of the individual depicted.
