The artwork titled “Woman with a Daffodil” is a piece by Lucian Freud, created in 1945. Executed in oil on canvas, it belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is categorized as a portrait. It is currently housed at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork portrays a woman with a somber expression, characterized by her pronounced facial features and intense stare. Dominated by earthy tones, the woman’s hair appears dark and slightly unkempt, cascading down either side of her face. A yellow daffodil lies foreground on a table, contrasting the muted hues of the woman’s visage with its vibrant color. The background is a plain, light shade that serves to center the viewer’s focus on the figure and the flower. Freud’s signature and the year ’45 are visible in the lower right corner of the canvas.
