The artwork titled “Michael Andrews and June” was created by Lucian Freud between 1965 and 1966 using oil on canvas. This Expressionist portrait, measuring 70 x 60 cm, is part of a private collection.
In the artwork, two individuals are depicted seated side by side, likely engaging in a moment of reflective contemplation or intimate conversation. The woman, donning a red dress with a white collar, rests her arm on a green sofa, her head leaning slightly towards the man. Her expression appears thoughtful and somewhat weary. The man, dressed in a white shirt and gray vest, gazes outward with a serious demeanor, his arm partially embracing the woman. The painterly style, characterized by bold, expressive brushstrokes and a muted palette, conveys the emotional depth and psychological complexity of the sitters. The background is rendered in dark, subdued tones, which further highlights the figures and their bond.
