The artwork titled “Woman with a Tulip” is an oil painting on canvas created by the artist Lucian Freud in 1945. This portrait, measuring 12.7 x 23 cm, belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is currently held in a private collection.
In this piece, a woman with pale skin and straight dark brown hair is depicted with a solemn expression. She is horizontally divided by a surface on which a vivid red tulip is placed. The face of the woman is rendered with meticulous detail, showcasing large, deep-set eyes and a distant gaze. The background consists of an abstract, light-colored texture that contrasts with the darker tones of her attire and the table, bringing attention to the bright tulip, which serves as the focal point against the otherwise subdued color palette.
