Oil on canvas. Featuring a nude with arms crossed. Signed and attr. Lucian Freud (British, 1922-2011) on the lower right corner. 55 x 46 cm (21.7 x 18.1 in). Lucian Freud, renowned for his unflinching observations of anatomy and psychology, made even the beautiful people (including Kate Moss) look ugly. One of the late twentieth-century's most celebrated portraitists, Freud painted only those closest to him: friends and family, wives and mistresses, and, last but not least, himself. His insightful series of self-portraits spanned over six decades. PROVENANCE: Private collection (Central Europe)
