The artwork “Girl’s Head,” by Lucian Freud, created around 1973 to 1974, exemplifies the Expressionist movement. Utilizing oil on canvas, this piece measures 33.7 x 41.3 cm and is classified under the genre of sketch and study. Currently, it resides in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a detailed and evocative portrait of a girl’s head, prominently focusing on the facial features with a high level of precision and depth characteristic of Freud’s style. The background is left bare, drawing attention to the central figure and emphasizing the delicacy of the brush strokes that capture the contours and expressions of the subject. The expressive, almost raw treatment of the face lends an intimate and contemplative mood to the painting.
