Freud’s paintings from the early 1960s mark a radical departure from his previous more realistic style. He starts to use a broader brush with a denser application of paint creating greater visual movement. This sitter features in at least two other paintings from the time; Freud is known for building a relationship with his sitters and his portraits reflect their personality and physical presence.
