“Paddington Interior, Harry Diamond” is an artwork by Lucian Freud, dated 1970. This piece, executed in oil on canvas, belongs to the Expressionist movement. The portrait measures 71 x 71 cm.
The artwork depicts an interior scene with a man seated in a chair. The figure, meticulously rendered, exudes a strong presence, seated in an armchair with one arm on the armrest and the other resting on his lap. The man’s facial expression and posture imbue the piece with a sense of contemplation and introspection. Surrounding him is a sparsely furnished space, including an open cabinet and a white object on the right side, adding to the atmosphere of lived-in simplicity. The brushwork and color palette contribute to the expressive and thoughtful ambiance of the portrait, characteristic of Freud’s distinctive style.
