The artwork titled “Lord Goodman in his Yellow Pyjamas” was created by Lucian Freud in 1987. It belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is a portrait genre piece. The artwork is housed at the Whitworth Art Gallery within the University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.
In the artwork, a strong and intensely characterized depiction of a man is rendered, showcasing Freud’s distinctive style. The subject, clothed in yellow pyjamas, exudes a profound sense of presence through the intricate, bold lines and meticulous detail of the etching. The stark contrast and heavy use of shading emphasize the textures and contours of the face, giving it a deeply expressive and somewhat somber tone. This portrait, with its raw and poignant representation, mirrors the essence of Expressionism by delving into the psychological depth and individuality of its subject.
