The artwork titled “Naked Portrait” was created by Lucian Freud in 2004. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of nude painting (nu).
The artwork portrays a nude figure reclining on a bed, rendered with a striking realism and emotional depth characteristic of Freud’s style. The subject’s form is depicted with meticulous attention to texture and anatomy, capturing the voluptuous contours of the body in a manner that emphasizes the raw, unidealized human form. The palette is composed of earthy tones and detailed brushwork, lending the composition a tangible weight and presence. The setting appears domestic, with soft bedding and muted surroundings that frame the central figure, enhancing both the intimate and introspective nature of the scene.
